Structural and optical study of γ –BIMEVOX; ME: Ba{sup 2+} and Sr{sup 2+}
Bismuth oxide based compounds, such as Bi{sub 4}V{sub 2}O{sub 11-δ} (BIVOX), exhibit Aurivillus type of interleaving arrangement of (Bi{sub 2}O{sub 2}){sup 2+} and (VO{sub 3}□{sub 0.5}){sup 2-} (□: oxygen vacancies). Bi{sub 4}V{sub 2}O{sub 11-δ,} is known to have three kinds of temperature dependent interconvertible polymorphs α (monoclinic), β (orthorhombic) and γ (tetragonal). Out of all the three phases, the γ – phase is highly disordered and hence, is the most conductive one which can be stabilized by proper lower valence cation (ME) doping at V site. Bi{sub 4}V{sub 1.90}ME{sub 0.20}O{sub 11-δ} (ME: Ba{sup 2+} and Sr{sup 2+}) were prepared via splat quenching technique. The required compositions were melted at 1250 °C in an electric furnace. The as quenched samples were sintered at 800 °C for 12 hours (h). The formed phases were analyzed using X-ray diffraction on quenched and sintered samples, the peak at 32{sup °} is found to be singlet in all the samples which confirms the presence of γ-phase. Hence, the stabilization of γ-phase with tetragonal structure was found to have taken place with doping and quenching. These samples are also studied by FT-IR and UV/vis spectroscopy to investigate the effect of dopants on structure and band gaps respectively.
