Photoluminescence associated with the site occupations of Ho3+ ions in BaTiO3
Abstract A nominal (Ba1−x Ho x )Ti1−x/4O3 (x = 0.01) (BHTH) ceramic with a single-phase tetragonal structure was prepared at 1400 °C using the solid-state reaction method. The analysis on the defect chemistry revealed that the real formula of BHTH is (Ba1−x Ho3x/4)(Ti1−x/4Ho x/4)O3 with Ba vacancies...
