Abstract
Atomic polarization in ferroelectric compounds is manipulated to control local electronic structure and influence chemical reactivity. Ferroelectric domains are patterned with electron beams or with probe tips, and electron exchange reactions occur preferentially on positive or negative domains. Using photo reduction from aqueous solution, metal nanoparticles are produced in predefined locations on an oxide substrate. Subsequently, organic molecules are reacted selectively to the particles. The process can be repeated to develop complex structures consisting of nanosized elements of semiconductors, metals, or functional organic molecules.
