Abstract

Ferroelectric materials are widely researched because of their application in electronic devices. A ferroelectric nanotube is important both theoretically and experimentally because of its nonplanar structure. Bi3.15Nd0.85Ti3O12 nanotubes are fabricated utilizing templates of porous anodic aluminum oxide and thin films are synthesized as well for comparison. Atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and x-ray diffraction reveal the microstructure of the samples. The optical properties are investigated carefully to reveal the size effect with the decrease in sample dimensionality. The observed shift of the absorption edge for different nanostructures is discussed.
