△ [12p-D419-8] Determination of the energy level of the Fe2+/3+-transition level in BaTiO3 and SrTiO3 by electrical conductance measurement
Keywords:BaTiO3, transition level, activation energy
Nominally undoped BaTiO3 and SrTiO3 contain significant concentration of Fe as a natural impurity. Transition metal such as Fe generates deep level within the band gap and affects the physical property of the host material. Especially the transition level of Fe2+/3+ have not been studied so far. In this study, the energy level of Fe2+/3+ was determined by stepwise re-oxidation of the strongly redulced BaTiO3 and SrTiO3 and simultaneous measurement of their activation energies.
