Barium titanate BaTiO activity

The inverse-micelle approach may also offer a generalized scheme for the preparation of monodisperse metal-oxide nanoparticles. The reported materials are ferroelectric oxides and, thus, stray from our emphasis on optically active semiconductor NQDs. Nevertheless, the method demonstrates an intriguing and useful approach the combination of sol-gel techniques with inverse-micelle nanoparticle synthesis (with OTO erafe-temperature nucleation and growth). Monodisperse barium titanate, BaTiOs, nanocrystals, with diameters controlled in the range from 6-12nm, were prepared. In addition, proof-of-principle preparations were successfully conducted for Ti02 and PbTiOs. Single-source alkoxide precmsors are used to ensure proper stoichiometry in the preparation of complex oxides (e.g. bimetallic oxides) and are commercially available for a variety of systems.

Barium titanate. The continuous miniaturization of integrated electronic devices forces to manufacture active and passive components of smaller size, including multilayer capacitors (MLCCs) [285,286]. This accounts for a significant breakthrough in the synthesis of ultrafine BaTiOs powders in recent years [287]. 

Barium titanate has been studied extensively since the end of World War II when it was identified independently in Russia, Japan and USA as a promising material with high permittivity for ceramic capacitors. Its ferroelectric activity is known since 1946 when it was discovered on ceramic samples. Since 1950 s also the single-crystals of desired size and quality are available. BaTiOs undergoes several phase transitions...
