Effect of Reoxidation Temperature on Electrophysical Properties of High-TC Barium Titanate-Based PTCR Ceramics
Abstract:
Ceramic samples of (1 x)BaTiO3–xNa0.5Bi0.5TiO3 system were prepared by sintering in reducing atmosphere of N2/H2 and were subsequently reoxidized in air. The influence of reoxidation temperature firing on the PTCR effect of (1 x)BaTiO3–xNa0.5Bi0.5TiO3 ceramics was investigated. The effect of Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 concentration on resistivity and microstructure of the reoxidized samples was investigated by means of complex impedance spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. It has been found that the grain size decreases with the increase in Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 content. The values of minimum ρmin and maximum ρmax resistivities of the samples were observed to increase with the increase in reoxidation temperature in the 600 – 1000°C temperature range. It was shown that with increasing in reoxidation temperature of (1-x)BaTiO3-xNa0.5Bi0.5TiO3 solid solutions, potential barrier at grain boundaries increases.
