主 题:XAFS spectroscopy impurities strontium titanate solar energy conversion
摘 要:The properties of Ni-doped strontium titanate are studied using X-ray diffraction and XAFS *** is shown that regardless of the preparation conditions,the SrTi_(1-x)Ni_(x)O_(3) solid solution and the NiTiO_(3) phase are the most stable phases which can *** to the EXAFS data,in the single-phase sample of SrTi_(0.97)Ni_(0.03)O_(3),the Ni atoms substitute for the Ti ones and are *** distortion of the oxygen octahedra is not *** XANES spectra analysis shows that the oxidation state of nickel in NiTiO_(3) is 2+,and in the SrTi_(1-x)Ni_(x)O_(3) solid solution it is close to 4+.It is shown that the strongest light absorption in doped samples is associated with the presence of tetravalent nickel in the SrTi_(1-x)Ni_(x)O_(3) solid *** doping seems the most promising one for solar energy converters that exploit the bulk photovoltaic effect.
