Prepare of the New Structure PbTiO₃ Nanowires and the Study of the Reversible Bending

Abstract:

When the self-made with Teflon lined with stainless steel reaction kettle is used to produce PbTiO₃ nanowires with the adoption of hydrothermal reaction , PbTiO₃ nanowires with new structure can be made when Pb/Ti equals 2.2. Observed through the Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), the bending feature of the PbTiO₃ nanowires can be observed for several times when X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Electron Backscattered Diffraction (EBSD) are used to analyse and test the crystal structure of the nanowires. The result of the study shows that the degree of the bending of the PbTiO₃ nanowires varies with the intensity of the electron beam from the Transmission Electron Microscopy, and its process can be reversible.
