description

Phase transitions which depend on grain size induce very interesting properties in materials such as zirconia or barium titanate. A new and rigorous thermodynamic treatment of this type of phase transition is proposed with consideration of the surface phenomena. An interpretation is given of the observed differences when the material—particularly BaTiO3—under consideration is a fine grain powder or is a fine grain ceramic.
