Abstract

Nanocrystalline Pr3+ substituted NBT was synthesized using hydrothermal technique. Pr3+ modifies the ferroelectric NBT optically active and enhances the electrical properties with small structural changes. Aiming to the development of the bottom up optoelectronic devices this optimized nanoscale Na0.5Bi0.5-xPrxTiO3(x = 0.005) compound is synthesized hydrothermally. X-ray diffraction pattern shows that the system is stabilized in the Rhombohedral (space groupR3c) phase indicating the local strain inhomogeneity. PE loop shows that there is a decrement in the Ec value compared with compounds synthesized using conventional methods. The strong red emission assigned to prominent transition of the Pr3+ ions at 610nm was observed along with weak blue-green emission, indicating the potential use of the system. Energy transfer from host system to Pr3+ ions is responsible for red emission while blue green emission is due to quenching of 3P0 induced by intervalence charge transfer state.
