Abstract

One-dimensional PbTiO3 nanowires 40–500 nm in diameter and ~400 μm in length were synthesized via a hydrothermal strategy and characterized by X-ray diffraction, electron backscatter diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The results show that the PbTiO3 nanowires exhibit a new acicular crystal structure, which is a tetragonal superstructure composed of a large unit cell of 40 atoms (Pb : Ti : O = 1 : 1 : 3) with a = 12.35 Å, c = 3.83 Å. The PbTiO3 has a feature of unidirectional bending when observed through transmission electron microscopy several times. The bending can be controlled by the electron beam intensity in transmission electron microscopy and the bending process is reversible. Moreover, a possible mechanism for the bending behaviour was also studied, which indicates that macroscopic polarization is in the {110} plane and the direction is not consistent with the electric field, giving the possible driving force for the bending.
