TL;DR: In this article, an interpretation of the Zr/ZrO 2 epitaxy on a zirconium (0001) plane is given, based on electron microscopy.

TL;DR: In this article, normal, phosphoric and nitrate films were classified into three classes: normal, normal, and normal anodically formed on Zr-2, and they were found to fall into three categories: normal films were cubic ZrO 2 containing 3.5 nm diameter micropores and 50 nm diameter crystallites.

TL;DR: In this article, the simultaneous presence of cubic and monoclinic ZrO 2 and αZr reflections in selected area electron diffraction patterns taken from an oxide grown on α Zr(0001) allowed the determination of a new cubic Zr O 2 lattice parameter of a = 0.5135 ± 0.0005 nm.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found five orientational relationships and several degrees of texturing between α-Zr(0001) and its oxide, and extended the earlier study of the relationship.

TL;DR: In this article, a dynamic process of oxide crystallite nucleation, recrystallization and growth was found for oxide films of less than 365 nm due to the presence of a dense network of amorphous oxide protusions at the oxide/metal interface.
