Abstract

Single crystals of gibbsite were partially dehydrated to boehmite in a hydrothermal atmosphere. Most of the boehmite crystallites show preferred orientation that can be explained by the octahedral linkage. Further heating in air leads to a tetragonal γ-Al2O3 whose crystallites also are oriented. The orientations give information about structural details. At about 900°C a transformation γ→θ-Al2O3 takes place. In this case too the crystallites are oriented. The oxygen chains lying parallel to the a-axis of gibbsite are strongly bound and are taken over in every new lattice during transformation.
