Jf. Meng et al., STUDY OF VISIBLE EMISSION AND PHASE-TRANSITION IN NANOCRYSTALLINE A(1-X)A'XTIO3 SYSTEMS, Physics letters. A, 229(4), 1997, pp. 254-258
Room temperature photoluminescence spectra on Ba1-xPbxTiO3 and Sr1-xPb
xTiO3, with grain sizes of similar to 60 and similar to 30 nm, respect
ively, have been measured. The Pb content dependence of the visible em
ission can be used to provide evidence for the origin of photoluminesc
ence occurring in these nanocrystalline ABO(3) oxides. The phase trans
itions for Ba1-xPbxTiO3 and Sr1-xPbxTiO3 are found to have an obvious
effect on the visible emission band. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
