A. Rouanet et al., SYNTHESIS BY VAPORIZATION-CONDENSATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF (GAMMA)-FE2O3, IN2O3, SNO2, ZNO AND ZR1-XYXO2-DELTA, Nanostructured materials, 6(1-4), 1995, pp. 283-286
Several nanophases have been prepared by vaporization-condensation in
a solar image furnace : binary oxides such a s gamma-Fe2O3, In2O3, SnO
2, ZnO and ternary oxides such as Zr1-xYxO2-delta. The vapor-condensat
es have been characterized by X-ray diffraction and Transmission Elect
ron Microscopy. Particle shapes and size distributions have been deter
mined; strains, structural defects have been observed. The nanostructu
re characteristics have been related to the thermokinetics conditions
of the elaboration process which have been modelized.
