Extremely Enhanced Nonlinear Current–Voltage Properties of Tb‐Doped CaCu3Ti4O12 Ceramics

Abstract: Nonlinear current–voltage properties of CaCu3Ti4O12 ceramics were extremely enhanced by doping with Tb. Substitution of Tb to CaCu3Ti4O12 resulted in a decrease in grain size due to the ability of Tb ions to inhibit grain boundary mobility. The dielectric properties of CaCu3Ti4O12 ceramics were degraded after doping with Tb. Surprisingly, the nonlinear electrical properties were strongly enhanced. The best properties with a nonlinear coefficient of ~29.67 and breakdown electric field strength of ~1.52 × 104 V/… Show more

“…This value is comparable to the value of α ≈17 (calculated over the range of 1–10 mA/cm 2 ) for the Sn‐doped CCTO (CaCu 3 Ti 3.8 Sn 0.2 O 12 ) ceramic . However, α of the CCTO50‐1h sample is lower than that of the Tb‐doped CCTO (Ca 0.775 Tb 0.15 Cu 3 Ti 4 O 12 ) ceramic for which α = 29.67 …”

“…Therefore, the change in dielectric properties of the Nb doped CCTO ceramics can be correlated to microscopic changes in microstructure of ceramics, i.e., decline of ε r is primarily attributed to decrease in average grain size. Such dielectric behavior is similar to that observed in pure and doped CCTO ceramics [40,[45][46][47][48][49]. But, these results indicate that Nb substitution in Ti site of CCTO have not only an impact on its microstructure, but also pointedly affect its dielectric properties.…”

“…(2) and the measuring method. As shown in Figure 11(b), some reports of high α are actually $5 in the current range 0.1-1 mA/cm in lnJ-lnE plots [24][25][26]. The reported high α might also originate from positive feedback of heat generated from thermal emission process at grain boundary.…”
