The Effect of Strong Reducing Atmosphere on the Electrical Property and Microstructure of SrTiO3 Varistor Ceramics
The Effect of Strong Reducing Atmosphere on the Electrical Property and Microstructure of SrTiO3 Varistor Ceramics
The microstructural effect on the electrical properties of SrTiO3 based varistor-capacitor materials sintered at various atmospheric conditions is investigated. Three sintering atmospheres were used: 30%H2+70%N2, 50%H2+50%N2 and 75%H2+25%N2 which is decomposed by liquid ammonia. It is found that with an increase of H2 percentage in sintering atmosphere, the grain size and electron concentration increase while varistor voltage U10mA and nonlinear coefficient a decrease. It is suggested that more oxygen vacancies can be formed in strong reducing atmospheres, and the grain growth process is mainly controlled by grain boundary diffusion, which leads to a lower sintering temperature. The results of PAT reveal that higher free electron concentration can be generated which lead to the change of electrical properties.

Abstract
The microstructural effect on the electrical properties of SrTiO3 based varistor-capacitor materials sintered at various atmospheric conditions is investigated. Three sintering atmospheres were used: 30%H2+70%N2, 50%H2+50%N2 and 75%H2+25%N2 which is decomposed by liquid ammonia. It is found that with an increase of H2 percentage in sintering atmosphere, the grain size and electron concentration increase while varistor voltage U10mA and nonlinear coefficient a decrease. It is suggested that more oxygen vacancies can be formed in strong reducing atmospheres, and the grain growth process is mainly controlled by grain boundary diffusion, which leads to a lower sintering temperature. The results of PAT reveal that higher free electron concentration can be generated which lead to the change of electrical properties.
