A study, by high-temperature diffractometry, of the monoclinic- tetragonal phase changes in pure ZrO/sub 2/ and HfO/sub 2/ disclosed that the hysteresis loops associated with the transformations have similar shapes that are typical of mamy martensitic phase changes, but that the widths of the loops differ greatly for the two materials, being about 200 deg C for zirconia amd only 20 to 30 deg C for hafnia. The temperature-induced transformations are predominantly athermal. The nature of these and similar transformations is discussed. The reversible formation of a cubic form of ZrO/sub 2/ above 2200 deg C was confirmed. (auth)
