Perovskite-structured (Bi1/2Na1/2)TiO3 (BNT) ferroelectric with Curie temperature about 320°C is considered to be a good candidate of high temperature lead-free materials with a positive temperature coefficient of resistance (PTCR). In this study, lead-free PTCR ceramics with compositions of (1-x)BaTiO3-x(Bi1/2Na1/2)TiO3 (BT-BNT x=0.5-55mol%) were successfully prepared without any additional donor or acceptor dopants. The effects of BNT content on the Curie temperature Tc and the PTC effect of the ceramic materials were investigated. The X-ray diffraction data indicated that BT phase and BNT phase formed a solid solution during sintering even though the x value was up to 55mol%. The Curie temperature Tc of the samples increased from ~130°C to ~216°C with the increase of the BNT amount (x value) from 0.5mol% to 40mol%. However, it decreased when excess BNT was added (x value increased from 40mol% up to 55mol%), which was resulted from the volatile effects of Bi3+ and Na+ ions during sintering. The sample of 0.6BaTiO3- 0.4(Bi1/2Na1/2)TiO3 with Tc =216°C, room-temperature resistivity 104 Ω·cm and Rmax/Rmin= 102.7 was obtained. There is a relationship between the Curie temperature and the cell volume of the perovskite structured lattice.

Nb-doped and Nb-Mn-codoped (1-xmol%)BaTiO3-xmol%(Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3 (BBNTx) lead-free positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) ceramics were prepared by the conventional solid state reaction method. The XRD patterns indicated that all BBNTx samples formed a single perovskite structure with tetragonal phase. 0.25 mol% Nb doped BBNT1 ceramic, sintered at 1330°C for 1h in air, had low room-temperature resistivity (ρ25) of 80 Ω•cm and a high resistivity jump (maximum resistivity [ρmax]/minimum resistivity [ρmin]) of 4.2 orders of magnitude with Tc about 152°C. The Nb-doped BBNTx (10≤x≤60) ceramics also showed distinct PTC effect with Tc between 185 and 232°C by sintering in N2, which was shut off when samples were cooled to a low temperature. In addition, The Nb-Mn-codoped BBNT1 ceramics exhibited higher resistivity jump than the single Nb-doped ones, with increasing the room-temperature resistivity.

Iron Substitution

ABSTRACTRecently, Ti-substituted Sm-Co permanent magnets have attracted renewed attention due to their interesting high-temperature coercivity. Our presentation deals with the effect of iron substitutions on the magnetic properties of the materials. X-ray diffraction shows that the investigated Sm(Co,Fe,Cu,Ti)z materials (z = 7.0 - 7.6) are two-phase magnets, consisting of 1:5 and 2:17 regions. The iron content affects both the coercivity and the magnetization. Depending on composition and heat treatment, some samples show a positive temperature coefficient of the coercivity in the temperature range from 22 °C to 550 °C. Moderate amounts of iron enhance the room-temperature coercivity. For example, the room-temperature coercivity of Sm(Co6.0Fe0.4Cu0.6Ti0.3) is 9.6 kOe, as compared to 7.6 kOe for Sm(Co6.4Cu0.6Ti0.3). At high temperatures, the addition of Fe has a deteriorating effect on the coercivity, which is as high as 10.0 kOe at 500 °C for Sm(Co6.4Cu0.6Ti0.3). The room-temperature magnetization increases on iron substitution, from 73 emu/g for Sm(Co6.4Cu0.6Ti0.3) to 78 emu/g for Sm(Co6.0Fe0.4Cu0.6Ti0.3). The observed temperature dependence is ascribed to the preferential dumbbell-site occupancy of the Fe atoms.

We investigated the effect of the donor-doped content on the positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) of (Ba1-xSmx)TiO3(BST) Based Ceramics that were sintered at 1300 °C for 30 min in a reducing atmosphere and re-oxidized at 850 °C for 1 h. The results indicated that the resistance jump first increased and then decreased with an increase of the donor-doped concentration. Moreover, the specimens achieved a low room temperature resistivity of 383.1 Ω·cm at a donor-doped content and exhibited a pronounced PTCR characteristics with a resistance jump of 3.1 orders of magnitude. Furthermore, the RT reisistivity of the samples reduced and increased with the increasing of the donor-dopant content in the range of 0.1−0.5 mol% Sm3+. In addition, the effect of the Sm3+-doped concentration on the grain size of the ceramics was investigated in our paper.

A modified barium vacancy formation mechanism in donor-doped barium titanate (BaTiO3) ceramics is proposed. Assuming a uniform distribution of barium vacancies at sintering temperature and only oxygen partial pressure and sintering temperature related concentration of unionized barium vacancies, the electrical characteristics have been calculated by solving a differential equation about electron level. The room-temperature resistivity and positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) behaviors of donor-doped BaTiO3 semiconducting ceramics have been quantitatively computed. The results pointed out that the room-temperature resistivity changes as a U-type curve with an increase of donor concentration. Moreover, the PTCR effect of BaTiO3 semiconductive ceramics was calculated quantitatively under different conditions. Theoretical and experimental results for BaTiO3 semiconductive ceramics are compared and discussed.

AbstractSingle crystals of the known ternary cerium intermetallic Ce5Cu19P12were grown by Sn flux and I2transport methods. The long axis of the black hexagonal needles was confirmed to be the c-axis by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Electrical resistivity of both single crystals and a pressed pellet was measured from 4 - 300 K; the room temperature resistivity is about 400 μΩ-cm for the needle axis of the crystals and about 5 mΩ-cm for the pressed pellet. The thermopower of the pressed pellet was found to be 34 μV/K at room temperature.

The influence of sintering temperature, sintering and annealing atmospheres, and quench rate on the properties of the high-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3Oy has been investigated by electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements, thermogravimetric analysis, powder x-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. Room-temperature resistivity and the transition width decreased, and the fraction of the superconducting material and the bulk density increased with increase in the sintering temperature, but had no effect on the transition temperature (Tc) for samples fired in flowing oxygen. A sample that was rapidly quenched from 930 °C to room temperature after sintering in air had a perovskite structure and Tc (onset) ∼90 K but its resistance did not become zero even at 77 K. A sample sintered in air at 930 °C and furnace cooled had Tc (midpoint) of ∼89.6 K and transition width (10%–90%) of ∼2.6 K. The loss and gain of oxygen occurs reversibly in YBa2Cu3Oy.

Stoichiometry of the well-known high-T c compound YBa 2 Cu 3 O y is modified by varying the Cu concentration in the system, and changes in the oxygen content and superconducting properties are investigated. The oxygen content shows a nonlinear dependence on the Cu concentration. For Cu deficiency up to 20%, the transition temperature T c remains at a nearly constant value of 93 K. X-ray diffraction measurements show that the compound is orthorhombic in this range of stoichiometric variation, and the Cu -deficient superconductor is single phase. The room temperature resistivity increases exponentially while the critical current density decreases exponentially with increasing Cu deficiency. These results indicate that the predominant mechanism for high-T c superconductivity is closely related to the local structure around the Cu and O atoms.

The influence of Nb2O5-doped concentration on the positive temperature coefficient of resistance (PTCR) effect, electrical properties and microdefects of (Ba[Formula: see text]Sr[Formula: see text])(TiNb[Formula: see text])O3 (BSTN) ceramics were investigated. Firing was conducted at 1350[Formula: see text]C for 2 h in air. The donor-doped content affected the electrical properties, PTCR effect and formation of the microdefect type of the BSTN samples. The room temperature resistivity of the BSTN specimens first decreased and then increased with increasing donor-doped content in the range of 0.2 mol.% Nb[Formula: see text] to 0.5 mol.% Nb[Formula: see text]. Moreover, the information on microdefects in BSTN ceramics was demonstrated by coincidence Doppler broadening spectrum. The influence of the defects on the PTCR characteristics of the ceramics was also revealed.
