Thin films of Barium Strontium Titanate (BST) have been fabricated using Pulse Laser Deposition (PLD) technique. Two stoichiometries of BaxSr1-xTiO3 with x=0.5 and x=0.7 are deposited on well cleaned quarts substrates in high vacuum chamber with oxygen pressure of 0.13mbar at 700˚C. XRD pattern shows perovskite structure of the films. Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) is used to determine the element concentration of both the films. Transmittance spectra of UV characterization shows decrement in transparency of the film as Barium (Ba) concentration increase and sharp cut-offs are observed at the band edge. Refractive Index (n), absorption coefficient (α), extinction coefficient (k), optical conductivity (σ) and optical band gap (Eg) are derived from UV-Vis spectroscopy. The calculated parameters for Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 and Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3 are presented in this work. The present work also includes study of BST thin films as gas sensors.

Cobalt doped Titanium Dioxide (TiO 2 ) were synthesized by a standard solid-state reaction method. The dielectric constant and loss have been measured as a function of frequency (100 Hz-1 KHz) and temperature (50°C to 300°C). Similar behavior is observed between dielectric constant and dielectric loss. Both dielectric constant and dielectric loss are found to decrease with increasing frequency. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra were taken at different excitation wavelength. PL emission spectra shows a broad spectra in the range 400 nm to 500 nm.
