(111) Twinned BaTiO3 Microcrystallites
This month’s Crystal Clear is chocablock with beautiful BaTiO3 microcrystallites. This (111) twinned structure was obtained through a composite hydroxide mediated process by using amorphous TiO2 powders.
The striking image is taken from an article in Issue 10 by Duo Liu and coworkers (Shandong University, China):
