Their transformations to c-In2O3 nanocrystals and rh-In2O3 nanowires have been investigated. A dissolution−recrystallization (in solution) or size-related decomposition−recrystallization (in air) mechanism is indicated for the former transformation; the size- and surface-determined transformation is proposed for the latter. These results will help to understand and control the phase stability and transformation concerning the nanodimension and surface restrictions, especially for ultrathin nanowires. %I ACS Publications
