Calcium copper titanate (CaCu3Ti4O12, CCTO) has been synthesized utilizing eggshell waste as a source of calcium through the hydrothermal route, followed by annealing treatment at temperatures 950°C and 1050°C. The sample with 1050°C is named CTO-A CCTO-B, respectively. structure, microstructure, dielectric properties CCTO samples were investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis results confirmed ...

Arrays of dielectric resonators—illuminated by an antenna—are used to ignite and sustain multiple microwave plasmas in parallel. Calcium titanate cylindrical resonators were arranged in a linear array with separation distances between 0.5 and 5 mm. The operating frequency was near the HEM111 resonance of 1.1 GHz. Paschen curves of the breakdown field and voltage in argon atmosphere are consiste...

Layer-by-layer growth of titanate nanotubes on glass substrates was achieved by alternate layer deposition using an aqueous solution of colloidal titanate nanotubes and that of a polycation. Even a single layer thin film of titanate nanotube shows high photoinduced hydrophilicity.

Gold nanoparticles were prepared and characterized on protonated (H-form) titanate nanotubes (TiONTs) and nanowires (TiONWs). The chemical nature and morphology of gold particles were monitored by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high resolution electron microscopy (HRTEM). The optical properties of Au-containing titanate nanowires were exp...

Through high-resolution electron microscopy, the surface structure of barium titanate and strontium titanate nanoparticles are found to be terminated by a TiO2 double layer. These results confirm prior observations of TiO2-rich surface reconstructions on strontium titanate nanoparticles made hydrothermally at high pH and single crystals prepared with wet chemical etching. Of all the reconstruct...

A universal technology for the encapsulative protection of unstable anionic species by highly stable layered metal oxide has been developed via the surface modification of a metal oxide nanosheet. The surface anchoring of (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) on exfoliated titanate nanosheet yields a novel cationic metal oxide nanosheet, which can be universally used for the hybridization with...
