Parameters of ZnO grains in ZnO-based ceramics

Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

A method was proposed for determining the electrical resistivity p and average sizel of ZnO grains in ZnO-based ceramics from their current-voltage behavior at large currents. For a few ceramics containing various combinations of oxide additives, p andl were determined as functions of sintering conditions. The effects of quenching and heat treatment were examined.
