Conduction mechanism of barium titanate ceramics
Introduction. Barium titanate (BaTiO 3) exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of resistance (PTCR effect). This effect involves a substantial non-linear change of resistivity with temperature around the Curie temperature ( TC) [1]. It was determined that compositional modifications of Sr +2, or Pb +2 for Ba +2 produce changes in the Curie ...
