Abstract

We have mentioned the old paper [1], where the critical size for the nanocrystals of lead titanate was estimated by extrapolating the size dependence of T c near absolute zero (Fig. 3.1). One can see from Fig. 3.1 that extrapolation to T = 0 yields the critical size value l cr ~ 20 nm. We have shown in the previous Chapter that recent measurements on perovskites nanocrystals give smaller values for l cr.
