Abstract
In the present study, TBC single crystals were synthesized using solution evaporation method. The structural analysis of TBC crystal was studied using Powder X-ray diffraction. Optical properties of TBC crystals were carried out using UV-vis, FTIR, Raman and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The crystal shows absorbance maxima at 209 nm and transparent in the visible region 300-900 nm. The various optical constants such as refractive index, reflectance, speed of light, extinction coefficient, electrical susceptibility, dielectric constant, optical and electrical conductivity were evaluated. Thus results revealed that all these optical constants shows a strong dependence on optical absorption coefficient. Using single oscillator model (Wemple âDidomenico), lattice dielectric constant and the ratio of free charge carrier to their effective mass were evaluated. The PL study of TBC crystals shows two emission peaks (419 nm âS, 441 nm- Ba) in blue region. The DC resistivity and conductivity of the crystal was investigated in the temperature range 26 °C-115 °C.
