Pure zirconium oxide nanocrystallites with diameters 6–140nm are fabricated from ultrafine metallo-organic complexes by thermal hydrolysis at 120°C and/or heat treatment at 125–1025°C. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy shows that effective ionic valence of Zr decreases with decreasing particle diameter. The size dependence of the ionic valences suggests that the phase transition from cubic to tetragonal occurs at an effective Zr valence of 2.0 near 3nm in diameter and that the phase transition from tetragonal to monoclinic takes place at a critical size of 25nm diameter with an effective Zr valence of about 2.6.
