For example, when containing 20 mol% or more of CeO1 with respect to ZrO, zirconia ceramics consisting of tetragonal and cubic crystals can be obtained, and when containing 16 to 20 mol% of CeO, zirconia ceramics consisting of tetragonal crystals can be obtained. Completely stabilized zirconia ceramics can be obtained, and if the content is less than 16 mol%, unstabilized zirconia ceramics consisting only of monoclinic crystals can be obtained at room temperature.
