Enriched second-harmonic generation in meta-phase barium titanate nanostructures synthesized by sol-gel hydrothermal method

This study reports on the second harmonic generation (SHG) of barium titanate (BaTiO3) nanoparticles synthesized by a low-cost and easily-accessible sol-gel hydrothermal method at different temperatures (100-250 degrees C). According to the powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, all of the prepared...
