Abstract

The ultraviolet–visible spectra of the pure barium strontium titanate (Ba0.72Sr0.28TiO3) and the Fe3+-doped Ba0.72Sr0.28TiO3 were measured. The pure barium strontium titanate exhibited an ultraviolet (UV) absorption effect. The addition of Fe2O3 resulted in an increase of absorption wavelength. This red-shift effect was very strong even though the amount of Fe3+ was very small. The similar phenomenon was also observed in pure BaTiO3 and Fe3+-doped BaTiO3. The UV-absorption behavior was discussed in terms of Fe3+ replacing Ti4+ in the titanate with perovskite structure.
