Barium titanate at the nanoscale: controlled synthesis and dielectric and ferroelectric properties

The successful production of nanostructured BaTiO₃enables theoretical and experimental investigation into the intriguing yet complex dielectric properties of individual BaTiO₃nanocrystals. By combining BaTiO₃nanocrystals and certain polymers, the resulting BaTiO₃/polymer nanocomposites possess many advantages from both components.
