Abstract

The properties of selectively formed zirconia nanostructures were investigated. The zirconia nanoshells and nanospheres were formed over a precise range of temperature and pressure. A closer view of the hollow nanosphere groupings reveals that they could be interconnected by a permeable channel. The result suggests that the crystallinity associated with the nanoshells is lost in sphere formation as these structures are amorphous is character.
