Popis: A series of Ba1-xEuxTiO3-delta (0.1 of the parent unit cell as observed for BaTiO3. Density functional calculations delivered an insight into the electronic structure of Ba1-xEuxTiO3-delta. From the obtained density of states a significant reduction of the band gap by the presence of filled Eu2+ 4f states at the top of the valence band was observed. The physical property measurements revealed that barium-europium titanates exhibit n-type semiconducting behavior and at high temperature the electrical conductivity strongly depended on the Eu2+ content. Activation energies calculated from the electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient data indicate that at high temperatures (800 K < T < 1123 K) the conduction mechanism of Ba1-xEuxTiO3-delta (0.1
