Fabrication and Characterization of Perovskite Nanocube Ordering Structures via Capillary-Force-Assisted Self-Assembly Process

摘要

Barium titanate (BT) and strontium titanate (ST) nanocubes which have been synthesized by hydrothermal method with surfactants were assembled in order directly on the substrates by using capillary-force-assisted self-assembly method. The ordered structures, crystallinity and orientation of the nanocubes were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning probe microscopy (SPM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The piezoresponse properties of the nanocubes ordering structures characterized by Piezoresponse Force Microscopy (PFM) seemed to depend on the constituents and their interface.
