The obtained TiO2 nanowires were characterized using Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, field emission scanning electron microscopy （FE- SEM）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, and selected area electron diffraction （SAED） analysis. Results of electron microscopic observations indicated that the nanowires were smooth and uniform with a diameter of about 50-80 nm and several micrometers in length. SAED, Raman, and XRD mea- surements showed that TiO2 nanowires were single-crystalline with a pure rutile structure after heating at 800 ~C for 10 h. In this situation, the nanowire constituents grew preferentially along the 〈001〉 direction. Furthermore, the formation process and mechanistic study of the Ti02 nanowire arrays were proposed and discussed in detail. The nanowires are clearly produced by the deposition of TiO2 particles on the inner wall of the template nanochannels.展开更多

文摘Ceramics based on(Na_(1/2)B_(1/2))TiO_(3) are promising candidates for actuator applications because of large strains generated by an electric field-induced phase transition.For example,the(1-x)(Na_(1/2)Bi_(1/2))TiO_(3)-xSrTiO_(3) system exhibits a morphotropic phase boundary at x=0.2-0.3,leading to high values of inverse piezoelectric constant d_(33),which can be further improved by the use of single crystals.In our previous work,single crystals of (Na_(1/2)B_(1/2))TiO_(3)-SrTiO_(3) and (Na_(1/2)Bi_(1/2))TiO_(3)-TiO_(3) were grown by the solid state crystal growth technique.Growth in the(Nai/2Bi/2)TiO3-SrTiO3 system was sluggish whereas the (Na_(1/2)B_(1/2))TiO_(3)-CaTiO_(3) single crystals grew well.In the present work,0.8(Na_(1/2)Bi_(1/2))Ti0_(3)-0.2(Sr_(1-x)Ca_(x))Ti0_(3) single crystals(with x=0.0,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4)were produced by the solid state crystal growth technique in an attempt to improve crystal growth rate.The dependence of mean matrix grain size,single crystal growth distance,and electrical properties on the Ca concentration was investigated in detail.These investigations indicated that at x=0.3 the matrix grain growth was suppressed and the driving force for single crystal growth was enhanced.Replacing Sr with Ca increased the shoulder temperature T_(s) and temperature of maximum relative permittivity T_(max),causing a decrease in inverse piezoelectric properties and a change from normal to incipient ferroelectric behavior.
