摘要
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 (700-1200 degrees 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. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All-rights reserved.
