Microstructure and Nonohmic Properties of ZnO-V 2 O 5 Ceramics

The microstructure and nonohmic characteristics of polycrystalline ZnO-V 2 O 5 ceramics with V 2 O 5 as the only additive ranging from 0 to 2 mol% were investigated. An abnormal grain growth was observed for ZnO doped with V 2 O 5 and sintered at 900° C. However, the non-uniformity of the grain stru...

Description
Summary:The microstructure and nonohmic characteristics of polycrystalline ZnO-V 2 O 5 ceramics with V 2 O 5 as the only additive ranging from 0 to 2 mol% were investigated. An abnormal grain growth was observed for ZnO doped with V 2 O 5 and sintered at 900° C. However, the non-uniformity of the grain structure alleviated with increasing the V 2 O 5 content or sintering temperature. The ZnO-V 2 O 5 ceramics have shown characteristics of nonohmic V-I behavior and large apparent dielectric constant with a relaxation peak of 0.36 eV at 300 kHz. The electrical properties of these ZnO-V 2 O 5 ceramics depended strongly on the processing conditions and V 2 O 5 content, and there seems a close relation between the nonlinear electric properties and the concentration of the deeply-trapped defects at 0.36 eV in ZnO.
