Abstract

Nanocrystalline BaTiO3 has been synthesized for the first time by a gas-condensation process using an electron beam evaporation system. BaTiO3 and Ti sources are vaporized simultaneously in either a mixed helium-oxygen or pure helium environment. Nano-BaTiO3 particles have an average particle size of approximately 18 nm. The processing parameters of the evaporation process are reported.
