We have also studied the effect of halide ions on the morphology of biogenic nanotriangles. It has been shown that iodide ions have a greater propensity to transform flat gold nanotriangles into circular disklike structures as compared to other halide ions. The study also suggests that the presence of Cl- ions during the synthesis promotes the growth of nanotriangles, whereas the presence of I- ions distorts the nanotriangle morphology and induces the formation of aggregated spherical nanoparticles. The change in the morphology of gold nanotriangles has been explained in terms of the ability of the halide ions to stabilize or inhibit the formation of (I 11) faces to form [&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.993</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bansal, Vipul</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Poddar, Pankaj</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ahmad, Absar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sastry, Murali</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Room-temperature biosynthesis of ferroelectric barium titanate nanoparticles</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of the American Chemical Society</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2006</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SEP</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">36</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AMER CHEMICAL SOC</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1155 16TH ST, NW, WASHINGTON, DC 20036 USA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">128</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article No. JA063011M</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The syntheses of inorganic materials by biological systems is characterized by processes that occur close to ambient temperatures, pressures, and neutral pH, as is exemplified by biosilicification and biomineralization processes in nature. Conversely, laboratory-based syntheses of oxide materials often require extremes of temperature and pressure. We have shown here the extracellular, room-temperature biosynthesis of 4-5 nm ternary oxide nanoparticles such as barium titanate (BT) using a fungus-mediated approach. The tetragonality as well as a lowered Curie transition temperature in sub-10 nm particles was established, and the ferroelectricity in these particles was shown using Kelvin probe microscopy.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">36</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13.038</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
