Several paramagnetic point defects in BaTiO3 Polycrystals were detected and identified using the electron paramagnetic resonance technique. Polycrystalline samples sintered in a reducing atmosphere showed a broad signal with a giromagnetic constant of 1.932. This signal, observed only in conducting ceramics, was assigned to Ti3+ and its related complexes. V-Ba and V-Ti defects were found at giromagetic constants of 1.974 and 2.004, respectively. The EPR intensity of these defects increases after oxidising at T > 1000degreesC. The appearance of the V-Ba and V-Ti signals in EPR spectra of oxidized ceramics correlates with the onset of the PTCR effect. At donor dopant levels greater than or equal to0.3 at.%, the concentration of V-Ba and V-Ti shows good agreement with the defect compensation mechanism of donor doped BaTiO3. However, small amounts of V-Ba and V-Ti were also detected in undoped BaTiO3, contrary to the generally accepted defect model. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
