THE EFFECT OF ISOVALENT SUBSTITUTIONS AND DOPANTS OF 3D-METALS ON THE PROPERTIES OF FERROELECTRICS- SEMICONDUCTORS

Electrophysical properties and microstructure of PTCR ceramics of the system (Ba,Ca,Sr,Y)TiO<sub>3</sub>+y%Mn have been investigated. It has been shown that manganese ions increase the potential barrier at grain boundaries and form a high-resistance outer layer in (Ba,Ca,Sr,Y)TiO<sub&...

Description
Summary:Electrophysical properties and microstructure of PTCR ceramics of the system (Ba,Ca,Sr,Y)TiO<sub>3</sub>+y%Mn have been investigated. It has been shown that manganese ions increase the potential barrier at grain boundaries and form a high-resistance outer layer in (Ba,Ca,Sr,Y)TiO<sub>3</sub> ceramics. The resistance of grains, outer layers and grain boundaries, the values of temperature coefficient of resistance as well as the varistor effect as a function of manganese content of PTCR materials have been investigated.
