Abstract

Highly ordered and well-aligned PbTiO3/TiN core-shell nanotubes are fabricated via an anodic aluminum oxide templating route followed by TiN and TiO2 atomic layer deposition deposition and a subsequent PbO vapor reaction. PbTiO3/TiN nanotubes keep their original shape after the vapor phase reaction, and they display well-defined piezoresponse hysteresis curves with remnant piezoresponse of 38 pm V(-1) .

Keywords: PbTiO3; core-shell nanostructures; nanotube arrays; piezoresponse force microscopy.
