Abstract: A titanium oxide particle that can develop non-conventional and novel physical properties, a method for manufacturing the same, and a magnetic memory, an optical information recording medium, and a charge accumulation type memory using the same are provided. A silica-coated titanium hydroxide compound particle is directly produced through a sol-gel technique and not through a reverse micelle technique, and the silica-coated titanium hydroxide compound particle is subjected to a calcination process. Hence, a titanium oxide particle 1 can be provided which can develop non-conventional and novel physical properties such that it does not perform phase transition at a room temperature and a Ti3O5 particle body can always maintain the characteristic as a paramagnetic metal in all temperature ranges unlike conventional bulk bodies that perform phase transition between a non-magnetic semiconductor and a paramagnetic metal at a temperature near about 460 K.

Abstract: A microstructure that can develop non-conventional and novel physical properties and a method for producing the same are provided. Ethanol is added to a mixture solution produced by adding a surfactant solution to a peroxotitanic acid aqueous solution to produce precipitates, and the precipitates collected from the mixture solution are let dried to produce precursor powders 5. The precursor powders 5 are calcined at a predetermined temperature. Accordingly, a microstructure 2 can be produced which is formed of monophasic Ti4O7 in nano size. The microstructure 2 of monophasic Ti4O7 produced in this fashion can be fine-grained in nano size unlike prior-art crystals.

Abstract: There are provided titanium oxide particles capable of manifesting an unprecedented property, a manufacturing method thereof and a magnetic memory as well as a charge storage type memory employing the titanium oxide particles. Unlike-conventional bulk bodies phase-transited between nonmagnetic semiconductors and paramagnetic metals around about 460K, provided are titanium oxide particles 3 capable of manifesting an unprecedented property that Ti3O5 particles do not undergo phase transitions at room temperature and allow a paramagnetic metal property thereof to be consistently maintained in any temperature range.

Abstract: There are provided a fine structural body capable of manifesting an unprecedented property; a manufacturing method thereof; and a magnetic memory, a charge storage memory and an optical information recording medium employing such fine structural body. Unlike conventional bulk bodies phase-transited between nonmagnetic semiconductors and paramagnetic metals around about 460K, there can be provided a fine structural body 1 comprised of Ti3O5, but capable of manifesting an unprecedented property in which a paramagnetic metal property thereof is consistently maintained in all temperature ranges without undergoing phase transition to a nonmagnetic semiconductor.
