Abstract
This work presents the OK- and TiL3,2-edge x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectra of PbxSr1−xTiO3 (PxSTO) and BaxSr1−xTiO3 (BxSTO) compounds with various Pb and Ba concentrations. The result provides direct evidence that the Pb–O bonding strongly affects O2p–Ti3d hybridization in the TiO6 octahedron of PxSTO. In contrast, the Ba–O bonding does not substantially affect O2p–Ti3d hybridization in BxSTO. The TiL3-edge XANES spectra show the splitting of the eg band for PxSTO with x≳0.5, which provides an evidence of Pb-induced tetragonal distortion in the TiO6 octahedron. In contrast, eg band splitting is absent in BxSTO.
