High temperature dielectric relaxation behaviors of single phase Mn3O4 polycrystalline ceramics prepared by spark plasma sintering technology have been studied. Two dielectric relaxations were observed in the temperature range of 200 K–330 K and in the frequency range of 20 Hz–10 MHz. The lower temperature relaxation is a type of thermally activated relaxation process, which mainly results from the hopping of oxygen vacancies based on the activation energy analysis. There is another abnormal dielectric phenomenon that is different from the conventional thermally activated behavior and is related to a positive temperature coefficient of resistance (PTCR) effect in the temperature region. In line with the impedance analyses, we distinguished the contributions of grains and grain boundaries. A comparison of the frequency-dependent spectra of the imaginary impedance with imaginary electric modulus suggests that both the long range conduction and the localized conduction are responsible for the dielectric relaxations in the Mn3O4 polycrystalline samples.

AbstractThe positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) effect in Ba1-xSrxPb1+yO3+z has been systematically studied. The effect of the PTC resistivity was strongly influenced by the preparation condition. The PTCR effect in metallic-conducting BaPb1+yO3+z. is confirmed around 700 °C, and the temperature where the PTCR effect starts can be successfully shifted to higher temperature range by substituting strontium for the A-site barium. The magnitude of the PTCR effect was increased and the resistibility was reduced by the enhancement of the sintering. In addition to Pb(IV) in the perovskite structure, Pb(II) is detected at the grain boundary in the sintered body.

AbstractThe paper describes the technology of obtaining and the results of the investigations of microstructure, XRD, SEM, main dielectric properties, electrical conductivity measurements and P-E hysteresis loops of Ba0.6Pb0.4TiO3/graphene oxide composite (abbr. BPT/GO). In the final step of the technology, the samples have been sintered using the Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) method. Diffraction patterns of the BPT/GO composite exhibit lines which can be related to perovskite structure. They also reveal additional lines that can be derived from the initial component oxides. Investigations of electrical conductivity suggest that the positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) effect occurs at temperatures up to approximately 120 °C. Dielectric hysteresis loops below 90 °C are wide and typical for materials with rather high electrical conductivity. The hysteresis loop obtained at 120 °C is more typical for ferroelectrics. The obtained material is interesting, nevertheless it is probably possible to find better conditions of obtaining and/or a better composition thereof.

The dielectric permittivity of synthetic rubber polymers, nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), with both frequency and temperature variations, was thoroughly investigated by dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS). The spectrum versus frequency of DRS was analyzed with the semiempirical Havriliak–Negami formula and conductivity contribution by employing the newly developed “dispersion analyzer” analysis program. The main dielectric relaxations called the α- and β-processes, associated with the cooperative motion of chains in polymers, were discovered in the low-temperature region. In the high-temperature region, we found Maxwell–Wagner–Sillars (MWS) relaxation associated with polymer interfacing and normal-mode (α’) relaxation responsible for end-to-end dipole vector motion. The activation energies of schematic molecular chains responsible for the relaxation processes were obtained with the information about its motional mode. The glass transition temperature and dipole moment for the side group were also determined and compared with those from previous studies. In the EPDM specimen, the peaks of α- and β-relaxation merged at high temperature and were separated with decreasing temperature. The first observations of both merging and splitting were consistent with the results on the temperature dependency of the relaxation strength. Both contour mapping and three-dimensional plots for the two rubbers provide visual information for the distribution and mapping of relaxation.

Abstract The investigated ceramics were prepared by a solid-state reaction from simple oxides and carbonates with the use of a mixed oxide method (MOM). The morphology of BaTi0.96Si0.04O3 (BTSi04) ceramics was characterised by means of a scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that Si+4 ion substitution supported the grain growth process in BT-based ceramics. The EDS results confirmed the high purity and expected quantitative composition of the synthesized material. The dielectric properties of the ceramics were also determined within the temperature range (ΔT=130-500K). It was found that the substitution of Si+4 ions had a significant influence on temperature behavior of the real (ε’) and imaginary (ε”) parts of electric permittivity as well as the temperature dependence of a.c. conductivity. Temperature regions of PTCR effect (positive temperature coefficient of resistivity) were determined for BTSi04 ceramics in the vicinity of structural phase transitions typical for barium titanate. No distinct maximum indicating a low-temperature structural transition to a rhombohedral phase in BTSi04 was found. The activation energy of conductivity was determined from the Arrhenius plots. It was found that substitution of Si ions in amount of 4wt.% caused almost 50% decrease in an activation energy value.

In the present work we have studied the high-temperature shape memory alloys based on the Ru-Nb system by using two mechanical spectrometers working in temperature ranges from 200 to 1450ºC and -150 to 900ºC. We have studied internal friction peaks linked to the martensitic transformations in the range from 300 to 1200ºC. In addition, we have evidenced another internal friction peak at lower temperature than the transformations peaks, which apparently exhibits the behaviour of a thermally activated relaxation peak, but in fact is a strongly time-dependent peak. We have carefully studied this peak and discussed its microscopic origin, concluding that it is related to the interaction of some structural defects with martensite interfaces. Finally, we perform a complete analysis of the whole internal friction spectrum, taking into account the possible relationship between the time-dependent peak and the martensitic transformation behaviour.

Donor-doped BaTiO3 ceramics were prepared by adding PbO B2O3 SiO2 as a sintering aid. Semiconducting BaTiO3 was obtained at a sintering temperature of 1100 °C. The sintered samples exhibit the Positive Temperature Coefficient of Resistivity (PTCR) effect, which depends on the amount of liquid phase, the concentration of the donor-dopant, and the sintering temperature. The cold resistivity of the samples decreases when the sintering temperature increases. The increase of the grain boundary resistivity and hence of the cold resistivity at lower sintering temperatures was explained by applying the diffusion grain boundary layer model.

ABSTRACTRecently, Ti-substituted Sm-Co permanent magnets have attracted renewed attention due to their interesting high-temperature coercivity. Our presentation deals with the effect of iron substitutions on the magnetic properties of the materials. X-ray diffraction shows that the investigated Sm(Co,Fe,Cu,Ti)z materials (z = 7.0 - 7.6) are two-phase magnets, consisting of 1:5 and 2:17 regions. The iron content affects both the coercivity and the magnetization. Depending on composition and heat treatment, some samples show a positive temperature coefficient of the coercivity in the temperature range from 22 °C to 550 °C. Moderate amounts of iron enhance the room-temperature coercivity. For example, the room-temperature coercivity of Sm(Co6.0Fe0.4Cu0.6Ti0.3) is 9.6 kOe, as compared to 7.6 kOe for Sm(Co6.4Cu0.6Ti0.3). At high temperatures, the addition of Fe has a deteriorating effect on the coercivity, which is as high as 10.0 kOe at 500 °C for Sm(Co6.4Cu0.6Ti0.3). The room-temperature magnetization increases on iron substitution, from 73 emu/g for Sm(Co6.4Cu0.6Ti0.3) to 78 emu/g for Sm(Co6.0Fe0.4Cu0.6Ti0.3). The observed temperature dependence is ascribed to the preferential dumbbell-site occupancy of the Fe atoms.

The microstructure, especially porosity, of PTC (positive temperature coefficient) thermistor based on BaTiO3 was controlled with a forming pressure. The relationship between theirPTCR properties and microstructureswas investigated with an optical and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) images and digital multimeter. Disk samples were fabricated by pressinguniaxially at various pressures of 100~15000kg/cm2 and sintering at 1265°C in reducing atmosphere and finally re-oxidizing at 700°C in air. The porosity of the samples decreased rapidly from 45% to 8% with increasing the forming pressure from 100 to 1000kg/cm2andbecame 4% at 15000kg/cm2with slowdecreasing of porosity in the pressure range of 1000~15000kg/cm2.With increasing the forming pressure, the resistivity jump of samplesdecreased rapidlyfrom 0.5 to 2.9 at about1000kg/cm2that corresponds tothe porosity of 15% and was saturated above this pressure. It is considered that there is a critical amount of porosity for having PTCR effect, which was about 15% in our samples. In addition, the porosity of the sample has a greater influence on the resistivity jump than on theresistivity at room temperature, which is due to the oxidation of grain boundary through a favorable channel of oxygen such as a pore.

We investigated the effect of the donor-doped content on the positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) of (Ba1-xSmx)TiO3(BST) Based Ceramics that were sintered at 1300 °C for 30 min in a reducing atmosphere and re-oxidized at 850 °C for 1 h. The results indicated that the resistance jump first increased and then decreased with an increase of the donor-doped concentration. Moreover, the specimens achieved a low room temperature resistivity of 383.1 Ω·cm at a donor-doped content and exhibited a pronounced PTCR characteristics with a resistance jump of 3.1 orders of magnitude. Furthermore, the RT reisistivity of the samples reduced and increased with the increasing of the donor-dopant content in the range of 0.1−0.5 mol% Sm3+. In addition, the effect of the Sm3+-doped concentration on the grain size of the ceramics was investigated in our paper.
