title: Numerical simulations of sonochemical production of BaTiO3 nanoparticles.
abstract: Numerical simulations of sonochemical production of nanoparticles have been performed for the first time under the experimental condition of Dang et al. [Jpn. J. Appl. Phys. 48 (2009) 09KC02] on the production of BaTiO(3). The results of the numerical simulations have suggested that only primary particles aggregate with other particles. It is also shown that larger aggregates are produced for lower initial concentration of BaCl(2) and TiCl(4). This is caused by longer reaction time as the reaction rate is lower for lower concentration and by lower viscosity which results in higher rate of aggregation.
