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...
