Abstract
Oxides that were grown on Zr-20Nb in water at 300 degrees C for 3 d, or in air at 400 degrees C for less than or equal to 2 h were characterized by an alytical electron microscopy. In both oxides. a similar microstructure was observed and similar electron diffraction patterns and high resolution latt ice images were obtained. Analyses of the results showed that the crystal s tructure of the oxides was identical to that of an incommensurate modulated Nb2Zrx-2O2x+1 phase, with x approximate to 10.
