Abstract

On undoped polycrystalline BaTiO3−δ (99.9% nominal purity), that had been equilibrated and quenched at 1000 °C under different oxygen activities in the range of −19.4 ≤ log aO2 < 0.1, were measured optical reflectance spectra at 298 K and ac conductivity at 473, 523 and 573 K, respectively. It was observed that all specimens quenched at log aO2 > −17 are electrically insulating and white in color, once powdered, and show optical absorption only at the absorption edge at ∼3 eV. In contrast, those quenched at log aO2 < −17 are electronically conducting and dark and exhibit a significant absorption in the IR region. This demarcating oxygen activity for the conductivity transition is ca. 13 orders of magnitude lower than that for the n-to-p type transition (δ = 0) in the equilibrium state, contrary to expectation. It is, thus, suggested that contrary to the textbook knowledge, the hole traps responsible for the conductivity transition in undoped BaTiO3 may be variable-valent acceptor defects like MnTi. The strong IR absorption in the semiconducting state is ascribed to small-polaron (Ti′Ti) hopping processes.

This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
