Bone has a built-in electric field because of the presence of piezoelectric collagen. To date, only externally applied electric fields have been used to direct cell behavior; however, these fields are not safe or practical for use. In this work, for the first time, we use a periodic microscale electric field (MEF) built into a titanium implant to induce osteogenesis. Such a MEF is generated by the periodic organization of a junction made of two parallel semiconducting TiO zones: anatase and rutile with lower and higher electron densities, respectively. The junctions were formed through anatase-rutile-phase transition in selective areas using laser irradiation on the implants. The and studies confirmed that the built-in MEF was an efficient electrical cue for inducing osteogenic differentiation in the absence of osteogenic supplements and promoted bone regeneration around the implants. Our work opens up a new avenue toward bone repair and regeneration using built-in MEF.

TiO has been extensively studied in many fields including photocatalysis, electrochemistry, optics, Understanding the mechanism of the anatase-rutile phase transition (ART) process is critical for the design of TiO-based high-activity photocatalysts and tuning its properties for other applications. In this work, the ART process using individual anatase micro-particles with a large percentage of (001) facets was monitored and studied. Phase concentration evolution obtained Raman microscopy was correlated with the morphological evolution observed in scanning electron microscope (SEM) images.

The present work reports the microscopic details of anatase (A) to rutile (R) phase transformation in a Mn-doped TiO2 system. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) powder was synthesized at three different dopant percentages, namely 1, 5, and 10 atom% of Mn, by a coprecipitation technique. Time differential perturbed angular correlation (TDPAC) spectroscopy was used to identify the formation of the rutile-like phase (R*) during the phase-transition process and revealed interface nucleation to be promoted by the Mn dopant.

The pure, tin (Sn)-doped, lanthanum (La)-doped and Sn/La co-doped titanium dioxide (TiO) nanomaterials were synthesized using sol-gel method followed by calcination at the temperature of 360 °C, 450 °C and 600 °C, respectively. The structures of the nanomaterials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric (TG), Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectrum (EDS), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), X-ray Photoelectron Spectrum (XPS), Diffuse Reflectance Spectrum (DRS), Photoluminescence Spectrum (PL), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller Measurements (BET), respectively. The photocatalytic property of the photocatalysts under UV light was evaluated through the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB).
