Chemical doping is one of the major methods by which the properties of BaTiO3 are modified to induce various device characteristics. Doping strategies are generally separated into iso- and aliovalent (donors and acceptors) and into A-and B-site species within the perovskite structure. The A(1g) octahedral breathing mode at similar to 800 cm(-1) in BaTiO3 is Raman inactive for compositions with single B-site species. However, this mode becomes Raman active if more than one B-site species is present, including titanium vacancies, V-T''''. Moreover, the relative intensity of the A(1g) breathing mode is qualitatively related to the concentration of the species replacing Ti in the B-site. This article illustrates some clear cases where the A(1g) octahedral breathing mode can be utilized to verify the site occupancy of dopants in BaTiO3 when used in conjunction with more conventional indirect methods such as x-ray diffraction (Vegard's Law) and dielectric measurements as a function of temperature.
