Influence of Cooling Duration on the PTCR Effect of Sm3+-doped BaTiO3-based Ceramics Sintered in a Reducing Atmosphere
Abstract
The influence of cooling duration on the electrical properties and the positive temperature coefficient of resistance (PTCR) characteristics of Sm-doped BaTiO3 (BST) ceramics fired at 1200 °C for 30 min in a reducing atmosphere and deoxidized at 800 °C for 1 h were investigated. The cooling duration influenced the PTCR characteristics of the BST specimens. The room-temperature resistivity of the samples firstly reduced and then increased with the increase in the content of Sm2O3. A long cooling duration resulted in low resistivity of the BST ceramics. Meanwhile, the room-temperature resistivity of the BST ceramics decreased with an increase in cooling duration. Furthermore, the S2 samples exhibited a remarkable PTCR effect. The samples exhibited a resistance jump greater than 3.2 orders of magnitude and a low room-temperature resistivity of 228.4Ω·cm.
