Titanate Ceramics

Highly donor-doped ceramics with composition of Ba0.984Y0.016TiO3 were prepared for thermistors with positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) via a route of solid reaction, reducing sintering and aerial oxidation. The effects of Mn additive were investigated on the ceramic characteristics of composition, morphology and electrical properties. The Mn incorporation affected little on ceramic composition but resulted in an obvious change in ceramic morphology, which illustrated the average grain size of 1.16, 1.65 and 1.01 μm for Mn addition amount of 0, 0.0005 and 0.0010, respectively. The grain growth, together with the Mn additive, influenced the electrical properties of room temperature resistivity, PTCR jump, donor and acceptor densities as well as the depletion layer width.

KnbO3 is a ferroelectric material with a Curie temperature (TC) at 415°C, thus giving it the potential to be a material for high-temperature positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) applications. In this study, we investigated the PTCR effect in donor-doped KnbO3 ceramics containing 0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 mol% PbO. The donor-doped KnbO3 ceramics exhibited a PTCR anomaly with a relatively low room-temperature resistivity. The temperature of the tetragonal-to-cubic phase transition (TC) of the KnbO3 decreased with the amount of added PbO, while the orthorhombic-to-tetragonal phase transition (TOT) remained unchanged.
