An anisotropic nanophase composite material and a method of producing same. The composite material comprises a nanophase composite structure containing a multiplicity of particulates of at least one material. The particulates of one material are spaced from each other three-dimensionally and anisotropically oriented in a given direction. The particulates have an average thickness of 1 to 10 nanometers and an average length of not less than 10 nanometers, the length being larger than the thickness. Since the particulates of dimensions on the order of nanometers are oriented only in a given direction, the composite material produces an intensified nonlinear optical effect and is excellent in polarizing characteristics, birefringent characteristics, or photovoltaic characteristics.
An anisotropic nanophase composite material comprising a nanophase composite structure of at least two inorganic materials, said nanophase composite structure containing a multiplicity of particulates, each of said particulates having a flat sheet structure wherein each of said particulate comprises a first layer of one of said at least two materials, and a second layer of the other of said at least two materials, and said first layer is in contact with said second layer, and
An anisotropic nanophase composite material produced by a method comprising the steps of:
