Abstract
Pressure driven shock tube was employed to switch TiO2 nanoparticles from anatase to rutile phase at an applied pressure of about 2.683â¯MPa. The crystal structure and surface morphology of the anatase-rutile phase transformation are investigated for pre and post loaded shock using X-ray diffraction, FT - Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy respectively. The results from the experimental investigations elucidated that the TiO2 nanoparticles under post shock facilitated the formation of new crystallographic phase (rutile) from anatase phase.
