The present disclosure relates to solid electrolyte containing MgO partially stabilized zirconia doped with at least one of Mn and Co.

Ceramic particles for use in a solar power tower and methods for making and using the ceramic particles are disclosed. The ceramic particle can include a sintered ceramic material formed from a mixture of a ceramic raw material and a darkening component comprising MnO as Mn.sup.2+. The ceramic particle can have a size from about 8 mesh to about 170 mesh and a density of less than 4 g/cc.

The present subject matter provides colored wear tiles for use in optical sorting apparatuses and related methods that separate an associated material into a desired product and an undesired product. The colored wear tiles have a color and/or lightness value that permeates the entire body of the wear tile and sufficiently differs from the color and/or lightness of the associated material in order to allow the colored wear tile, or portions or pieces thereof, that may mix with the associated material, to be separated from the desired product by the sorting apparatus.

A ceramic electronic component includes a ferrite material magnetic body part and a Cu conductive part, the ferrite containing 20 to 48% trivalent Fe in terms of Fe.sub.2O.sub.3 and divalent Ni. The ferrite can contain Mn so that it is less than 50% of the total of Fe and Mn in terms of Mn.sub.2O.sub.3 and Fe.sub.2O.sub.3. The magnetic and conductive parts are co-fired at a pressure not exceeding the equilibrium oxygen partial pressure of CuCu.sub.2O thereby ensuring insulating performance and favorable electrical characteristics.
