Experimental and calculated PDFs for 4 nm ZrO2 nanocrystals with the tetragonal (P42/nmc) model for the ranges (a) 1.5–50 Å, (b) 1.5–5 Å and (c) 5–50 Å. (d) Comparison of the simulated PDFs for different ZrO2 polymorphs with the experimental data. The space groups of the polymorphs used are indicated. (e) Short-range fit obtained for 4 nm ZrO2 after relaxing the atomic positions of Zr by constraining the symmetry. (f) The unit cell of Pmn21 before and after optimizing the Zr atom position. |
