The Jahn–Teller effect in Cr5+-doped PbTiO3: a multi-frequency electron paramagnetic resonance study

Abstract: Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of Cr5+ defects incorporated on Ti(4+) sites in powdered ceramics of PbTiO3 were investigated in the temperature range 50-400 K at 9 GHz (X), 34 GHz (Q) and 94 GHz (W band). The [Formula: see text] Jahn-Teller effect stabilizes the vibronic ground state of the 3d(1) electron of the Cr(5+) ion and leads to a tetragonally distorted defect- O6 octahedron with the point symmetry D(4h). The spontaneous electrical polarization present in the ferroelectric phase of PbTiO3… Show more

“…Increasing the temperature, the peaks of the two Cr 5+ spectra are broadened and a motionally averaged isotropic spectrum (with g iso ) appears at T = 200 K [10]. In the ferroelectrical phase of PbTiO 3 , the oxygen octahedron surrounding Ti 4+ ion is elongated along C 4 axis.…”

“…In the ferroelectrical phase of PbTiO 3 , the oxygen octahedron surrounding Ti 4+ ion is elongated along C 4 axis. However, the observed g factors of t-Cr 5+ center in PbTiO 3 suggests that the substitutional Cr 5+ is arounded by a tetragonally-compressed octahedron (rather than the tetragonally-elongated octahedron in the host crystal) [10]. It is known that the ground state of 3d 1 ion in a tetragonally-elongated octahedron is the doublet 2 E. The degenerate ground state is unstable, so a T 2 ⊗ e Jahn-Teller effect may occur to change the oxygen octahedron from tetragonal elongation in the host PbTiO 3 to tetragonal compression in the t-Cr 5+ center, The cause is that the ground state of 3d 1 ions in a tetragonally-compressed octahedron is the stable singlet 2 B 2 (|d xy >).…”
