Abstract
The mullite matrix of a reaction-sintered mullite/zirconia composite has been characterized by various electron microscopy techniques. The mullite was determined to be stoichiometrically Al4.76Si1.23O9.61 (1.7:1 mullite) with a disordered vacancy structure and Pbam symmetry. The atomic structure of the mullite has been described in terms of an average unit cell.Keywords
