Effect of Sr2+ addition on electrical properties of BaTiO3 PTCR ceramics

Description

Semiconducting PTCR (Positive Temperature Coefficient of Resistivity) ceramics based in BaTiO3, Ba0,8Sr0,2TiO3 e Ba0,6Sr0,4TiO3 compositions with 0.3at% La-doped have been investigated. The substitution of Ba2+ by Sr2+ in the lattice resulted in a decrease of tetragonal to cubic transition temperature (Tc) observed by X-ray diffraction. The results have shown a strong dependence of structure with the resistivity measured in d.c. mode. Using impedance spectroscopy technique was possible to attribute the PTC effect entirely to grain boundary region resistance. AFM and EFM images have shown potential barriers on the grain boundaries of evaluated samples below and above Tc.(author)
