Abstract

A new preparation procedure to obtain tetragonal pure zirconia powders is reported together with a detailed analysis of the profile of X-ray Diffraction (XRD) peaks. The crystallization kinetic up to 800°C is described through r.m.s. microstrain and crystallite size distributions. The results of two methods of profile analysis are compared. After thermal treatments up to 100°C the samples of amorphous gel prepared crystallize in the tetragonal structure. The monoclinic phase occurs only above this temperature. Moreover the tetragonal to monoclinic transformation has a strong effect in changing the shape of the distributions. Studying the crystallite size distributions we can infer a critical size of about 300 Å for the tetragonal crystallites to transform. The shape of the mean crystallite of a fully tetragonal sample is also described.
