Аннотация:XAFS studies of Ni-doped Ba1-xSrxTiO3 solid solution reveal that the Ni oxidation state changes from 4 in SrTiO3 to 2.5 in BaTiO3 when varying x. This change is accompanied by a noticeable change in the interatomic Ni-O distances in the first shell. The first-principles calculations show that nickel creates an impurity band in the forbidden band gap of BaTiO3 and SrTiO3, which explains the appearance of intense absorption of Ni-doped samples in the visible region. The analysis of the electronic structure of doped crystals and calculations of the oxygen vacancy formation energy in them show that different oxidation states of Ni in SrTiO3 and BaTiO3 can be explained by different formation energies of the oxygen vacancies in these compounds.
