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...

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 samples had meta-phase without a center of symmetry, and the crystal structure changes from simple cubic to rhom-bohedral at different temperatures. In addition to XRD, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) confirms the meta-phase in BaTiO3 by showing a significant phase shift indicating structural distortion. The variation in particle size was observed from transmission electron microscope (TEM) and the selected area electron diffraction (SAED) pattern as well supports the presence of structural distortion in the nanomaterials. The phase variation in BaTiO3 has not only affected its structure but also creates a disorder in its magnetic properties by changing it from paramagnetic to ferromagnetic for different synthesizing temperatures.
