Abstract

Several positive temperature coefficient resistors (PTCR's) are prepared using commercially available BaTiO3 powders with different additives (Y, Mn, Nb, AST). We found that the different additives will result in different grain sizes, grain surface and porosity. However, the temperature-dependent resistivities of these samples do not have significant difference. A new model is proposed to explain this discrepancy and the three-segment characteristics in the PTCR.
