However, in present study such behaviour is observed in calcium titanate prepared by sol-gel synthesis and densified by field assisted sintering. Presumably, the instability of regular TiO6 octahedra results in the off-centering of titanium positions in nanostructured bulk calcium titanate. As a consequence, piezoelectric behavior is observed in calcium titanate which is referred to "pseudo-piezoelectricity". This particular response is of great interest in biomedicine because it can improve osseointegration of implant materials. %L 530 %9 theses %9 Text %9 Hochschulschrift %R 10.18453/rosdok_id00002598 %U http://purl.uni-rostock.de/rosdok/id00002598 %U https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-rosdok_id00002598-5 %U https://d-nb.info/1293658669/34 %U https://doi.org/10.18453/rosdok_id00002598
