Barium titanate Barium titanate Barium titanate is an inorganic compound with chemical formula BaTiO. Barium titanate appears white as a powder and is transparent when prepared as large crystals. It is a ferroelectric ceramic material that exhibits the photorefractive effect and piezoelectric properties. It is used in capacitors, electromechanical transducers and nonlinear optics. The solid exists in one of five polymorphs depending on temperature. From high to low temperature, these crystal symmetries of the five polymorphs are hexagonal, cubic, tetragonal, orthorhombic, and rhombohedral crystal structure. All of these phases exhibit the ferroelectric effect apart from the cubic phase. The high temperature cubic
Metallic dragon and adamantine dragons for brass and bronze, and released the latter dragons in a later book alongside cobalt, mercury, mithral, orium, and steel dragons. The classification of "metallic dragons" was used in the "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons" second edition "Monstrous Manual" (1993), although the gold(en) dragon first appeared in the original "Dungeons & Dragons" "white box" set (1974) and the other dragons comprising the category had been in print since the first edition "Monster Manual" (1977). The term was continued in use in the third edition and fourth edition "Monster Manual". Although weaker than many other varieties of dragonkind, brass
