Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for BaTiO₃?
A: The CAS Number for barium titanate is 12047-27-7.
Q2: Is BaTiO₃ substrate suitable for direct contact with biological or food-contact systems?
A: No — BaTiO₃ single crystals are intended for research and electronic device fabrication only; they are not certified for biomedical implantation or food-contact applications per FDA/EFSA guidelines.
Q3: How does BaTiO₃ compare to SrTiO₃ (STO) as a substrate for oxide heterostructures?
A: BaTiO₃ offers intrinsic ferroelectricity and higher dielectric tunability than non-ferroelectric STO, but STO provides superior lattice match for many transition-metal oxides and greater thermal/chemical stability during high-temperature growth.
Q4: Are there leaching or ion migration concerns when BaTiO₃ substrates are exposed to humid or acidic environments?
A: Under ambient humidity, surface hydroxylation may occur; prolonged exposure to pH <4 solutions can lead to selective barium leaching. For device integration, encapsulation or capping layers are recommended in corrosive processing environments.
