Well dispersed single-crystalline BaTiO 3 nanoparticles with controlled morphologies were synthesized using a thermohydrolysis route. The nanoparticles were tuned from spherical to cubic upon changing the NaOH concentration under a critical molar ratio of oleic acid to hydrazine. Density functional...
