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.

A low-voltage TiO2 capacitor-varistor ceramics doped with Ta2O5 and Nd2O3 was systematically researched. The effect of Nd2O3 on the microstructure, nonlinear electrical properties, and dielectric properties of TiO2-based ceramics was investigated. It was found that an optimal doping composition of 99.20 mol% TiO2-0.10 mol%Ta2O5-0.7 mol% Nd2O3 was obtained with low breakdown voltage of 8.5 v/mm, high nonlinear constant of 4.0, ultrahigh electrical permittivity of 1.07× 105 and low tanδ of 0.39. In view of these electrical characteristics, the ceramics of 99.20 mol% TiO2-0.10 mol%Ta2O5-0.7 mol% Nd2O3 is a viable candidate for capacitor-varistor functional devices. The theory of defects in the crystal lattice was introduced to explain the nonlinear electrical behavior of the Nd2O3-doped TiO2-based varistor ceramics.
