Rapid one-step chemical synthesis of polyaniline-manganese ferrite nanocomposites without external initiator and mechanical agitation

Chimamkpam E.F.C., Schweizer T., Schilling A., Ferreira J.M.F., Centre for Research in Ceramics and Composite Materials, PT

We describe a rapid one-step, room temperature method to chemically synthesize bulk quantities of nanocomposites comprising specifically of manganese ferrite (MnFe2O4) and polyaniline (conductive form). Typically a chemical agent, for example ammonium peroxydisulfate, is used [...]

Ferroelectric Properties of FIB-prepared Single Crystal BaTiO3 Nanocapacitors

Schilling A., Saad MM., Baxter P., Adams TB., Bowman RM., Gregg JM., Morisson FD., Scott JF., Queen's University, Belfast & Nanotec NI, UK

Measurements on free standing single crystal barium strontium titanate capacitors made using focused ion beam micromachining with thicknesses down to 75 nm, show a dielectric response typical of large single crystals, rather than conventional thin [...]
