The studies of ZrO 2 and yttrium stabilized ZrO 2 nanocrystals luminescence as well as yttrium stabilized single crystal luminescence and induced absorption showed that the intrinsic defects are responsible for luminescence at room temperature. These defects form a quasi-continuum of states in ZrO 2 band gap and are the origin of the luminescence spectrum dependence on the excitation energy. Luminescence centers are oxygen vacancies related but not the vacancies themselves. At room temperature, in ZrO 2 , deep traps for electrons and holes exist. The oxygen vacancies are proposed to be the traps for electrons.
