Nature produces materials with excellent physical and chemical properties using water as a medium under ambient temperature and pressure. The current need for more highly functional and compact materials makes the mimicking of natural processes to produce these materials a very interesting approach, not only to obtain highly functionalized materials but also to reduce the environmental impact. Our research group is engaged in the development of new stable water-soluble compounds that follow natural processes for the synthesis of materials using water as a medium. This paper summarizes a hydrothermal synthesis of rutile-type titanium oxide using water-soluble titanium complexes, controlling the crystal morphology by utilizing organic molecules as shape-control agents as well as their speculative formation mechanism and superior dielectric properties of unusually shaped titanium oxide crystals. By recapitulating our results, we indicate that control of the nano-and macro-structures and functional improvement are accomplished through the development of new precursor compounds.

ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES Vol. 6 ( 22 ) page： 19510 - 19514 2014.11

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：AMER CHEMICAL SOC

We investigated high-temperature dielectric responses of high-kappa perovskite nanosheet (Ca2Nb3O10), an important material platform for postgraphene technology and ultrascale electronic devices. Through in situ characterizations using conducting atomic force microscopy, we found a robust high-temperature property of Ca2Nb3O10 nanosheet even in a monolayer form (similar to 2 nm). Furthermore, layer-by-layer assembled nanocapacitors retained both size-free higher characteristic (similar to 200) and high insulation resistance (similar to 1 x 10(-7) A/cm(2)) at high temperatures up to 250 degrees C. The simultaneous improvement of er and thermal stability in high-kappa nanodielectrics is of critical technological importance, and perovskite nanosheet has great potential for a rational design and construction of high-temperature capacitors.

Nanocrystals, especially with an anisotropic shape such as cubic, are candidates as building blocks for new bottom-up approaches to materials assembly, yielding a functional architecture. Such materials also receive attention because of their intrinsic size-dependent properties and resulting applications. Here, we report synthesis and characteristics of CeO2, BaTiO3 and SrTiO3 nanocubes and the ordered assemblies. The importance of shape as well as size distribution is clarified for the bottom-up development of 3D fine structures. CeO2 nanocube assemblies with enhanced surface of specified crystal planes such as (100) and (111) would open new surface-dominant devices. BaTiO3 and SrTiO3 nanocubes with narrow size distributions and robust diversity in compositions were obtained. BaTiO3 films made up of ordered nanocube assemblies were fabricated on various substrates by evaporation-induced self-assembly method. Regardless of the substrate, the nanocubes exhibited {100} orientations and a high degree of face-to-face ordering, which remained even after heat treatment at 850 degrees C. The supracrystal films exhibited distinct ferroelectric behaviors. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of The Society of Powder Technology Japan.

Multiferroic materials, which offer the possibility of manipulating the magnetic state by an electric field or vice versa, are of great current interest. However, single-phase materials with such cross-coupling properties at room temperature exist rarely in nature; new design of nano-engineered thin films with a strong magneto-electric coupling is a fundamental challenge. Here we demonstrate a robust room-temperature magneto-electric coupling in a bismuth-layer-structured ferroelectric Bi5Ti3FeO15 with high ferroelectric Curie temperature of similar to 1000 K. Bi5Ti3FeO15 thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition are single-phase layered perovskit with nearly (00l)-orientation. Room-temperature multiferroic behavior is demonstrated by a large modulation in magneto-polarization and magneto-dielectric responses. Local structural characterizations by transmission electron microscopy and Mossbauer spectroscopy reveal the existence of Fe-rich nanodomains, which cause a short-range magnetic ordering at similar to 620 K. In Bi5Ti3FeO15 with a stable ferroelectric order, the spin canting of magnetic-ion-based nanodomains via the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction might yield a robust magneto-electric coupling of similar to 400 mV/Oe.cm even at room temperature.

Silicon-lithium alloys are one of the most attractive anode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries; however, they have demonstrated high performance, only when they are fabricated into nano-sized materials. Here we show that even bulky alloys exhibit high potential that has never been shown in conventional liquid electrolytes, when they are in solid electrolytes.

Ti1-x-yFexCoyO2 nanosheets are synthesized in which the (Fe/Co) content is systematically controlled in the range of 0 <= x <= 0.4 and 0 <= y <= 0.2. A key feature of this new preparation is the use of (Li/Fe)-, (Fe/Co)- and (Li/Co)-co-substituted layered titanates as starting materials. In exfoliated nanosheets, the composition can be intentionally modified by controlled Fe/Co substitution into Ti sites during the solid-state synthesis of the starting layered compounds. The composition of the host layers is maintained in the subsequent exfoliation process, which is very helpful in the rational design of nanosheets through the use of controlled doping. Through this controlled doping, we achieve exquisite control of the electronic properties of Ti-1-dO(2) nanosheets, including the position of impurity bands, the Fermi energy and ferromagnetic properties. From photoelectron spectroscopy and first-principles studies, we have observed that the use of Fe/Co co-doping with higher Fe and Co oxidation states is necessary to bring the highest occupied Fe/Co impurity states to the Fermi level. This band engineering transforms the Ti1-x-yFexCoyO2 nanosheet into a room-temperature half-metallic ferromagnet, thus accomplishing the main requirements of future spinelectronics.

This work describes novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates based on ferroelectric periodically poled LiNbO3 templates. The templates comprise silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), the size and position of which are tailored by ferroelectric lithography. The substrate has uniform and large sampling areas that show SERS effective with excellent signal reproducibility, for which the fabrication protocol is advantageous in its simplicity. We demonstrate ferroelectric-based SERS substrates with particle sizes ranging from 30 to 70 nm and present tunable SERS effect from Raman active 4-mercaptopyridine molecules attached to AgNPs when excited by a laser source at 514 nm.

Investigations of the lattice dynamics of defects, such as oxygen vacancies, are important to understand the properties of PbTiO3 and related materials. Herein polarized Raman spectra of epitaxial PbTiO3 thin films with reduced and re-oxidized treatment were investigated. The oxygen-reduced spectrum displayed an additional mode related to oxygen vacancies, whereas the re-oxidized spectrum was the same as the initial one. The oxygen vacancy content increases as the intensity of additional mode increases, while the intensity of the B-1 mode related to oxygen ions decreases. First-principles calculations of the phonon mode related to oxygen vacancies support the assignment of the additional mode. (C)2013 The Ceramic Society of Japan. All rights reserved.

High-quality rutile TiO2 nanocrystals have been synthesized by a simple hydrothermal treatment of a watersoluble titanium-glycolate complex at 200 degrees C. The obtained samples were composed of rod- or whisker-like nanocrystals. The aspect ratios of these nanocrystals could be controlled by adding glycolic acid. Combined characterizations with X-ray diffraction, Raman scattering and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy revealed the formation of highly phase-pure and well-crystallized rutile nanorods/nanowhiskers with the c-axis orientation. Room-temperature dielectric measurements indicated that the permittivity for the rutile nanowhiskers is similar to 150 at 100 kHz, which is higher than that for the bulk rutile powder. These observations pave a way for morphological controlled rutile nanocrytals to find a broad class of technological uses. (C) 2013 The Ceramic Society of Japan. All rights reserved.

Additional mode related to oxygen vacancies occurred in the resonant Raman measurement condition, and its intensity was in proportion to the oxygen vacancy concentration. This correlation offers a simple and useful probe for oxygen vacancies in oxide-based devices. (C) 2013 The Ceramic Society of Japan. All rights reserved.

A high-quality HCa2Nb3O10 (HCNO) nanoflake (epsilon(r) = 9.1) consisting of high-kappa perovskite nanosheets is adopted as a gate dielectric for graphene-based electronics. A dual-gated device was physically constructed by directly dry-transferring a 22-nm-thick HCNO nanoflake as a top gate dielectric onto graphene. The fabricated graphene field-effect transistor could be operated at biases <1.5V with a gate leakage below 1 pA. The top-gate capacitance and mobility of the dual-gated graphene device at room temperature were estimated to be 367 nF/cm(2) and 2500 cm(2)/V.s, respectively. These results show that HCNO can be employed as an alternative dielectric for graphene-based devices. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.

JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS Vol. 114 ( 3 ) 2013.7

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：AMER INST PHYSICS

Stoichiometric glassy germanate is an important material in geophysics and materials science. Despite the binary Li2O-GeO2 system being primitive, its crystallization mechanism remains undetermined. In this study, we investigated crystallization and structural ordering in glassy ferroelectric Li2Ge4O9. Using isothermally and nonisothermally prepared samples, we demonstrated that the glassy Li2Ge4O9 shows no direct structural change to the stoichiometric phase; it rather forms alpha-GeO2 nanocrystals, i.e., it undergoes successive phase transformation. The results suggest that the metastable immiscibility is related to the ordering that occurs prior to crystallization of the stoichiometric phase. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.

ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES Vol. 5 ( 11 ) page： 4592 - 4596 2013.6

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：AMER CHEMICAL SOC

An approach to fabricate Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 (BST) films with a preferred orientation on a glass substrate by pulsed laser deposition was developed. To ensure a preferred crystallographic orientation, we utilized a molecularly thin Ca2Nb3O10 perovskite nanosheet as a seed layer and successfully fabricated BST films with a nearly perfect (100)axis orientation. The 100 nm films after annealing at 450 degrees C in air showed a good dielectric performance (epsilon(r) > 400), which was comparable to the epsilon(r) value of epitaxially grown films with the same thickness. These results indicate that the nanosheet seed layer plays a crucial role in controlled film growth, realizing a nearly intrinsic performance of BST.
