(PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers have developed a soft template infiltration technique for fabricating free-standing piezoelectrically active ferroelectric nanotubes and other nanostructures from PZT a material that is attractive because of its large piezoelectric response. Developed at the Georgia Institute of Technology, the technique allows fabrication of ferroelectric nanostructures with user-defined shapes, location and pattern variation across the same substrate.
