摘要
We describe techniques to selectively harvest single ferroelectric domain nanoparticles of BaTiO(3) as small as 9 nm from a plethora of nanoparticles produced by mechanical grinding. High resolution transmission electron microscopy imaging shows the unidomain atomic structure of the nanoparticles and reveals compressive and tensile surface strains which are attributed to the preservation of ferroelectric behavior in these particles. We demonstrate the positive benefits of using harvested nanoparticles in disparate liquid crystal systems. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3477163]
