Barium titanate (BT) nano-particles with different diameters were prepared by Sol-Gel method. The particle diameter was determined by XRD, and the lattice constants of nano-particles were also determined by XRD. We also measured the lattice vibration for BT nano-particles by Raman scattering to discuss on the size eff…
