Transformation characteristics of CeO2 stabilized ZrO2 gels have been studied during heating in the temperature region 1273–1473 K. The nature of the major phase present changes drastically in this temperature region. The crystallite sizes of tetragonal and monoclinic ZrO2 crystallites have been calculated by x-ray line broadening. The change in the nature of the major phase observed during heat treatment seems to be related to the presence of a barrier for transformation from a metastable to a stable regime, which in turn appears to be related to the diffusion barriers of Ce4+ in ZrO2.
