Bare and coated TiO₂ nanoparticles with particle sizes d 100 nm after 1300 K. PAC spectra taken in the same temperature range show that with increasing temperature, the initially disordered state transforms to well-ordered rutile TiO₂. The data suggest a critical grain size of d ~10 nm for the onset of the ordering process. The spectra of coarse-grained TiO₂ are reached at a particle size d >= 30 nm. In n-TiO₂ coated with Al₂O₃ and ZrO₂ both the cores and the coatings were found to grow with increasing temperature; the cores of the coated particles, however, grow much less than those of the noncoated particles. The PAC method was used to investigate the QI in both TiO₂ cores and in the ZrO₂ coating of n-TiO₂/ZrO₂ at different temperatures. These data suggest that although the coated particles grow with temperature, the ordering process is obstructed, possibly by a solid state reaction between the TiO₂ kernels and the coatings.
