Abstract

Optical properties and phase transition of Ce-modified (Na 0.5Bi0.5)(Ti0.99Fe0.01)O 3 nanocrystalline films have been investigated by spectroscopic ellipsometry from -70 to 500 C. Temperature dependent dielectric functions in the photon energy range of 0.6-6.4 eV can be derived by the Tauc-Lorentz model. It was found that the features in dielectric function (ε) showed an abrupt variation near 200 and 340 C, respectively. The phenomena can be explained by the appearance and/or reversal of polarization. It indicates that ferroelectric (rhombohedral) to paraelectric (tetragonal) phase transition is related to electronic band variation, which is observed by this technique.
