Abstract
Detailed photoconductivity measurements have been performed in nominally pure SrTiO 3 in order to elucidate the effect of the antiferrodistorsive cubic–tetragonal phase transition. Small features in the photoconductivity’s temperature dependence in the phase transition region were found using low intensity interband UV or 514 nm light illumination. Such features are associated with a transformation of the defect system controlling the photoconductivity. At the same time, the temperature behavior of the photoconductivity spectral maximum reveals a rather unusual feature which is connected with changes in the absorption band edge structure in the phase transition region.
