Abstrakt: BaTiO3 nanowires were grown in an amorphous aluminum oxide membrane from a sol-gel via electrophoresis. These had a ferroelectric coercive field of 5 kV/mm after undergoing a thermal treatment. This value is 12-16 times larger than the bulk value. Such enhancements are in agreement with local PFM measurements by others. An enhanced polarization of ≈80 μC/cm2 was also measured, where the bulk is around 26 μC/cm2. In addition, low leakage currents were also observed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
