Abstract

Barium titanate ultrafine particles are prepared by hydrothermal method at low temperature. Their phase structures and photoluminescence (PL) properties are examined by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The critical size of the cubic-tetragonal phase transition is about 48 nm and the lattice parameter ratio c/a equals 1.003. Strong photoluminescence is observed with central frequency located at 695 nm. The spectral behaviors at different annealing times and temperatures are studied. We attribute them to the semiconducting hexagonal phase embeded in the nanophase cubic BaTiO3to form trap centers and cause PL process.
