An experimental arrangement capable of monitoring temperature changes from 0.01 to 0.1K has been successfully tested for registering the temperature evolution occurring during the tetragonal to monoclinic transformation of an alumina/ceria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Al[sub 2]O[sub 3]/Ce-TZP). The arrangement is based on a very small thermistor. The data obtained have been used for evaluating the thermal diffusivity of the Al[sub 2]O[sub 3]/Ce-TZP composites.
