A new effect of ultrasonication on the formation of BaTiO(3) nanoparticles.
A new effect of ultrasonic irradiation on the formation of BaTiO(3) particles was identified. Ultrasonication caused the aggregation of the original 5-10nm BaTiO(3) particles in the same crystal axis and accelerated the formation of BaTiO(3) particles significantly. Furthermore, narrow size distribution was obtained for the aggregated particles under ultrasonic irradiation.
