ABSTRACTA new varistor based on TiO2 ceramic was developed. TiO2 ceramics with the dopant ranges of 0 < Nb < 2% and 0 < Ba < 2% were prepared and their electrical properties were measured. In these dopant ranges, several compositions were discovered to have useful varistor properties with a voltagecurrent nonlinearity index of α > 3. It was found that Ba dopant which segregates at grain boundaries and an oxidizing atmosphere during cooling are necessary to produce varistor properties in (Nb,Ba)-doped TiO2. Nb was introduced to decrease the TiO2 lattice resistivity to a range useful for device applications. Resistivity data were measured as functions of dopant composition and sintering atmospheres. Data were analyzed in terms of the defect structure in TiO2.

Sb-doped BaPbO3 ceramics were prepared by sol-gel method. The influence of Pb/Ba ratio and Sb concentration on the electrical properties of BaPb1+x-ySbyO3 (x=0.0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0≤y≤0.2) compositions were investigated. Holes and Pb vacancies were the major defects in lightly donor-doped BaPbO3, where the increase of donor concentration resulted in decrease of charge carriers (holes), leading to resistivity increasing. In the highly donor-doped conditions, the microstructure or solid solubility substituted defect structure as the main factor affecting the variety of resistivity. The lowest electrical resistivity of Sb-doped BaPbO3 was 2.69 × 10-4 /·cm when the Sb concentration y=0.12~0.13. Excess of Pb causes the born of barium vacancies. And, the observed PTCR behavior of BaPb1.2O3 involves the Barium vacancies in grain boundaries. 0.5 mol% Sb-doped BaPbO3 showed the best PTCR behavior and its Curie temperature was about 850°C.
