Barium titanate (BT) and strontium titanate (ST) nanocubes which have been synthesized by hydrothermal method with surfactants were assembled in order directly on the substrates by using capillary-force-assisted self-assembly method. The ordered structures, crystallinity and orientation of the nanocubes were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning probe microscopy (SPM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The piezoresponse properties of the nanocubes ordering structures characterized by Piezoresponse Force Microscopy (PFM) seemed to depend on the constituents and their interface.
