Contents:
Photoluminescence spectroscopy measurements., on Ba1-xPbxTiO3 and Sr1-xPbxTiO3, and with grain sizes of 60 and 30 nm respectively, have been carried out. A single-emission band at ~ 2.0 eV for pure BaTiO3 and at ~ 2.14 eV in the case of pure SrTiO3, had been observed at room temperature. The dependences of the band-position, -intensity, and -width of the visible emission on Pb concentration using the excitation line of 514.5, has been studied and offered a model responsible for the origin of photoluminescence in nanocrystalline BaTiO3 and SrTiO3. The thermal quenching of photoluminescence for pure bulk materials has been discussed.
