Many paramagnetic defects were identified in nominally undoped BaTi03 ; among them for the first time: 0-trapped holes and Cr5+. All defects can change their charge states under illumination. They thus can take part in the photorefractive effect of BaTiO3. By monitoring the ESR defect concentrations in dependence of light wavelengths several charge conversion thresholds were identified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
