Electrical properties and charge compensation mechanisms of Cr-doped rutile, TiO2
Keyword(s):
Ti1−xCrxO2−x/2−δ (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.05) ceramics show high electronic conductivity at low x attributed to oxygen vacancy compensation by co-doping with Ti3+ and Cr3+ ions. At intermediate x, p-type conductivity is attributed to hole location on under-bonded oxygen.
