We have performed in situ high pressure X‐ray powder diffraction experiments on nanocrystalline BaTiO 3 (average particle size 40 nm) up to 52 GPa using synchrotron X‐rays in the angle dispersive geometry with a diamond anvil cell. In order to understand the grain size effect on the tetragonal (P4mm) to cubic (Pm3m) phase transition and the compressibility, experiments were also carried out on bulkBaTiO 3 up to 36 GPa. The results show nanoBaTiO 3 is less compressible than the bulkBaTiO 3 and the phase transition pressure is found to be 1.9 GPa higher for nanoBaTiO 3 . (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
