The photoluminescence observed in ABO3 type perovskite in their highly structural disordered state can be explained by a model in which is assumed a distribution of electronic states localized within the energy band gap coupled to lattice local vibrational states. The model fits very well the experimental results and indicates that photoluminescence in the visible region can be considered as a general behavior of disordered solids.
