Abstract
Nanocrystalline powders of 1% Yb3+-doped BaTiO3
sintered at different temperatures were obtained by the sol-gel
method. The structure of the powders covering crystallite-sizes from
25 to 60 nm depending on the annealing temperature
(
C) was determined from the Scherrer's equation.
Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) intensity magnitude is compared in
each samples of the tetragonal BaTiO3 whereas the isotropic
cubic phase is detected by the absence of the SHG signal.
Cooperative emission, indicating the Yb3+ ions pairs, was
easily detected in the cubic phase and not seen in the ferroelectric
tetragonal structure.
