Abstract: | A light induced absorption peculiarity connected with an absorption peak in the visible range for SBN/Ce was detected. The analysis of these data together with investigation results for a visible range center (VIS-center) absorption study in SBN/Ce and Cr, in nominally pure strontium barium niobate (SBN) as well as in Ba0.77Ca0.23TiO3 crystals give support to charge transfer vibronic excitons (CTVEs) as origin of the phenomenon. While the fast (with relaxation time ∼1 ns at T∼300 K) response can be connected with transitions between excited branches of the adiabatic potential of the CTVE phase, the slow (with relaxation time ∼50 s at T∼230 K for SBN/Cr) response is connected with transitions between ground and first excited CTVE phase branches. The additional contribution to the latter effect due to the absorption of recharged oxygen ions which are in the framework of charge transfer induced by the CTVE cannot be disregarded. The explanation of the main results of the experiments shows that the VIS-center phenomena can be induced by the CTVE-states. |
