Abstract

$Mn_{1-x}Fe_{2+x}O_4$, $Mg_{1-x}Fe_{2+x}O_4$ (x=0.0, 0.025, 0.1, 0.2) for negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor were prepared by calcining at $800^{\circ}C$ and sintering from 1100 to $1250^{\circ}C$ with $50^{\circ}C$ intervals. The best linear property was obtained in the Mn-based sample sintered at $1200^{\circ}C$ with x=0.0 composition. Temperature coefficient of resistance, $\alpha$, was -3.0 %/$^{\circ}C$ in the Mg-based sample at $25^{\circ}C$. Thermistor parameter, B, was in the range of 2500 [K] $\sim$7400 [K]. The results show the possibility that Mn-Ni-Co based thermistor could be substituted by the composition used in this study.
