Vacuum ultraviolet reflectivity and band structure of SrTiO3 and BaTiO3

  • Published:

Abstract

The room temperature near-normal incidence reflectance spectra for SrTiO3 and BaTiO3 have been measured in the energy region 10 to 32 eV. The optical constants for the region 0 to 32eV have been derived from a Kramers-Kronig analysis by including earlier measurements for the low energy region. For SrTiO3 five peaks in the Ti3d derived conduction band density of states have been found on the basis of experimental data only, neglecting excitonic effects. The energies of these peaks are in excellent agreement with peaks in the density of states calculated by Mattheiss. The results for BaTiO3 could not be interpreted as unambiguously in such a scheme. Alternatively, some of the transitions could be interpreted as being due to core level excitons.
