Abstract

Indexed X-ray powder diffraction data are reported for the low temperature tetragonal ZrO2 obtained by crystallization of zirconia gel. The structure was refined by the Rietveld technique on the basis of space group P42/nmc. Refined unit cell dimensions are a = 3.5984(5) Å, c = 5.152(1) Å, V = 66.71 Å3, Dx=6.135 g/cm3, F18=62 (0.012, 24), RP=8.99, Rwp=11.48, RB=3.13.
