We report the solution-based synthesis of single-crystalline nanorods composed of barium titanate (BaTiO3) and strontium titanate (SrTiO3), which yields well-isolated nanorods with diameters ranging from 5 to 60 nm and lengths reaching up to >10 mum. Electron microscopy and diffraction measurements show that these nanorods are composed of single-crystalline cubic perovskite BaTiO3 and SrTiO3 wi...

The ability of photorefractive crystals such as barium titanate and strontium barium niobate to record spatially phase shifted real time holograms with high diffraction efficiency is the basis of many new optical devices involving coherent amplification. Some examples are unidirectional ring resonators, passive phase conjugate mirrors and coherent image amplifiers. 1 While in the past, most att...

stoichiometric tetragonal bal-xsrxtio3 (x = 0.23) nanopowders were prepared by stearic acid gel(sag) method using barium stearate, strontium stearate, tetrabutyl titanate as ba, sr, ti sourcesand stearic acid as complexing reagent. thermal analysis including differential thermogravimetric(dtg) and tg, fourier transform infrared spectrometry (ftir), x-ray diffraction (xrd) andtransmission electr...

The phase noise of an oscillator with a thin-film barium strontium titanate (BST) capacitive tuning element, or varactor, is characterised and benchmarked against the same oscillator with a silicon semiconductor junction varactor. Phase noise tracks closely with varactor Q within a specific voltage range as expected. Compared to the semiconductor varactor-based oscillator, the BST-based oscilla...
