Abstract
Radial-distribution-function analysis was used to study the structure of x- ray amorphous Fe-Zr-O materials prepared by heat treatment between 383 and 673 K. The chemical and structural formulas of the materials were establish ed. The results demonstrate that the introduction of Fe3+ into ZrO2 favors the formation of vacancies and reduces interatomic distances in comparison with cubic ZrO2. The materials contain OH- groups, whose concentration decr eases with increasing heat-treatment temperature.
