Alignment of TiO2 particles by electrophoretic deposition in a high magnetic field

Textured titania thick films were fabricated by applying external electrical and magnetic fields. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images revealed that the titania grains in the c-axis direction were orientated along the high magnetic field (10 T) even though the anisotropic susceptibility of titania ceramic is quite weak.
