Abstract
The low temperature (450–600°C) amorphous to tetragonal and tetragonal to monoclinic phase transformations in zirconia nanoparticles, produced by an aqueous sol–gel route, are analysed in terms of their changes of lattice parameters and by using the phenomenological theory of martensitic transformation (Bowles–Mackenzie theory) to explore whether or not those crystallographic changes may be considered a martensitic transformation within the zirconia nanoparticles.
