Abstract
Dense SnO2 nanocondensates with fluorite-type-related structures have been synthesized via severe heating-cooling under energetic Nd-YAG laser pulse irradiation of the Sn target in oxygen ambient. Transmission electron microscopic observations indicated that the fluorite type transformed in a martensitic manner into a baddeleyite-type structure with accompanied dislocations, twinning, commensurate shearing and shape change. The Pa3¯-modified fluorite-type structure was hardly observed possibly due to its transformation into α-PbO2 type and then rutile-type structures in the dynamic process.
