Based on the observation that the ratio of the perimeter, P, to the square root of the area, A0.5, of the grains for a given material is nearly constant, it is suggested that the grain shape may be treated as a regular polygon with a non-integral side number. Examining the variation of P/A0.5-ratio with sintering holding time may provide useful information for sintering dynamics. Further analysis suggests that the P/A0.5-ratio may be a potential parameter for studying the grain-boundary effect in polycrystalline materials.

Yttrium-doped (Sr0.45Pb0.55)TiO3 ceramics have been studied by complex impedance analysis. As a sort of NTC-PTC composite thermistor, it exhibited a significantly large negative temperature coefficient of resistivity below Tc in addition to the ordinary PTC characteristics above Tc. It is found that the NTC effect in NTC-PTC materials was not originated from the deep energy level of donor (bulk behavior), but from the electrical behavior of the grain boundary. Therefore, the NTC-PTC composite effect was assumed to be a grain boundary effect, and yttrium was a donor at shallow energy level. The NTC-PTC ceramics were grain boundary controlled materials.
