Structural studies on the addition characteristics of Nb ions to $BaTiO_3$ solid solutions were performed by XRD and SEM/EDS technique. The X-ray diffraction peaks of the (111), (200) and (002) planes of Nb-doped $BaTiO_3$ solid solutions with different mole% of Nb were analyzed. We also investigated the relationship between the dielectric and structural properties of Nb-doped $BaTiO_3$. The transition temperatures of $BaTiO_3$ solid solution doped with 0.5mole%Nb and 1.0 mole%Nb were ${\sim}116^{\circ}C$ and ${\sim}87^{\circ}C$, respectively, which were found to be shifted to very low temperature from the transition temperature of pure $BaTiO_3$ (about $125^{\circ}C$). As a result of analysis of 1/K versus T and ln[$(1/K)-(1/K_m)$ versus ($T-T_m$)] of the two compositions used in this experiment, the diffusivity slightly differs from that of pure $BaTiO_3$ at temperatures above Curie temperature. And this characteristic was analyzed by applying the modified Curie-Weiss law.

The effects of flux KCl and dopant Nb2O5 on the PTCR characteristics of BaTiO3 prepared by molten salt synthesis method have been investigated. As the amount of dopant Nb2O5 is over the solubility limit in BaTiO3, the room-temperature resistivity increases, and the PTCR effect and the grain size decrease. The variation of the amount of flux KCl slightly influences on the room-temperature resistivity, PTCR effect and grain size in Nb2O5 doped BaTiO3, but BaTiO3 ceramics prepared by the method of molten salt synthesis show larger PTCR effect than those of conventional calcining of mixed oxides.

$BaTiO_3$ powders doped with $BaTiO_3$ and $Nb_2O_5$ at 9$0^{\circ}C$ for 1hr. were synthesized by Direct Wet Process. These powders were very homogeneous and fine particle size. To obtain the highe PTCR effect AST($1/3Al_2O_3$.$3/4SiO_2$.$1/4TiO_2$) and $MnO_2$ were added in the semiconduc-ting $BaTiO_3$. In this case $Bi_2O_3$ and $MnO_2$ were used in the form of $Bi(NO)_3$ and $MnCl_2$.$4H_2O$ solution for Direct Wet Process. $BaTiO_3$ doped Nb2O5 and $MnO_2$ demostrated greater PTCR effect than $BaTiO_3$ doped $Nn_2O_5$ only.

The effect of {{{{ {{Nb }_{2 }O }_{5 } }} and CoO addition on the temperature dependence of the {{{{ {BaTiO }_{3 } }}-based ceramic capa-citor has been studied. X7R with moderate temperature dependence has been developed by means of pre-cisely controlled {{{{ {{Nb }_{2 }O }_{5 } }}/CoO ratio. Dielectric constant(K) and dissipation factor(DF) were 3500 and 1.5% respectively. As the content of {{{{ {{Nb }_{2 }O }_{5 } }} was increased the curie temperature(Tc) was shifted to lower tem-perature and the dielectric constant at Tc was decreased. The proper addition of CoO with {{{{ {{Nb }_{2 }O }_{5 } }} improved the temperature dependence of dielectric properties of the {{{{ {BaTiO }_{3 } }}-based ceramic capacitor.

The effect of Mn and Nb additions on the electrical properties of BaTiO$_3$ has been studied by means of equilibrium electrical conductivity as a function of temperature, oxygen partial pressure(Po$_2$) and composition. If the manganese ion is added to the normal Ti site, i.e. BaTi$_{1-x}Mn_xO_{\delta-6}$, the equilibrium conductivity shows strong evidence of acceptor-doped behavior. The conductivity minimum, corresponding to the transition from oxygen excess, p-type behavior to oxygen deficient, n-type behavior with decreasing Po$_2$, is displaced to lower Po$_2$ and is broadened and flattened. The partial replacement of Mn ion with Nb decreases the acceptor-doped effect and the total replacement exhibits a typical donor-doped behavior. It was confirmed that unlike undoped or other acceptor-doped behavior. It was confirmed that unlike undoped or other acceptor-doped samples, for the p-type region, the electrical conductivity follows the 1/6th power dependence of oxygen partial pressure.

This study is concerned with the mechanism of PTCR in $BaTiO_3$ ceramics doped by $Nb^{+5}$ Since the vacancy compensation layer at the grain boundary of n-type doped $BaTiO_3$ ceramics has been known as a major factor for surface state to give PTCR phenomena the dependence of PTCR on such vacancy compensation layer was attemped to be confirmed experimentally in this study. For the experiment quenching and annealing at various temperature after sintering were adopted to induce difference in the thickness of vacancycompensation layer so as to exihibit difference of PTCReffect eachother. The TEX>$Ba^{++}$ cocentration at the grain and grain boundary was measured by EDAX to confirm the formation of the vacancy compensation layer. It was found that i)either decrease in the temperature for quenching ii) or increase in the temperature for annealing improves the PTCR effect clearly iii)increase in TEX>$Ba^{++}$ concentration at the grain boundary results in the improvement of PTCR effect. It was concluded that all the experimental results gave the evidence for the dependence of PTCR effect on the vacancy compensation layer at the grain boundary which had been induced possibly by the $Ba^{++}$ diffusion by the heat treatment conducted.

The correlation between the sintering temperature and dielectric properties in the $Nb^{5+}\;and\;Ta^{5+}$ doped BaTi$O_3$ solid solutions have been investigated. The samples were sintered at temperatures ranging from 1250 to 1350 ${^{\circ}C}$ for 4 h in air. SEM, XRD and SEM/EDS techniques were used to examine the structure of the samples with particular focus on the incorporation of $Nb^{5+}\;and\;Ta^{5+}$ ions into the BaTi$O_3$ crystal lattice. The X-ray diffraction peaks of (111), (200) and (002) planes of BaTi$O_3$ solid solution doped with different fractions of $Nb^{5+}\;and\;Ta^{5+}$ were investigated. The dielectric properties were analyzed and the relationship between the properties and structure of doped BaTi$O_3$ was established. The fine-grain and high density of the doped BaTi$O_3$ ceramics resulted in excellent dielectric properties. The dielectric properties of this solid solutions were improved by adding a small amount of dopants. The transition temperature of the 1.0 mole% $Ta^{5+}$ doped BaTi$O_3$ solid solution was $\sim$110 ${^{\circ}C}$ with a dielectric constant of 3000 at room temperature. At temperatures above the Curie temperatures, the dielectric constant followed the Curie-Weiss law.

BaTiO3 ceramics doped with 0.1 to 4.0 mol% Nb2O5 were prepared by conventional solid stage sintering process, so as to investigate the effect of the amount of Nb2O5 on the dielectric properties and complex impedance patterns of barium titanates. From the measurement of capacitance, we found that the dielectric constant of BaTiO3 samples with 1 mol% or more Nb2O5 remained approximately constant around room temperature with values higher than 2500. In this paper, the effect of impurity content as well as temperature on complex impedance patterns was discussed in detail. In particular, the grain and grain boundary behavior of samples which showed PTCR characteristics was discussed in terms of measuring temperature.

Effect of MoO3 additiion on the semiconductive BaTiO3 ceramics doped with 0.2 mole% Nb2O5 and their frequency characteristics have been investigated on the view of intergranular barrier layer model through the observation of changes in their electrical properties. The resistivity increases with the increase of MoO3 addition, but the capacitance, the frequency dependence of capacitance and the effect of positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) decrease. It is explained by the possible increase in the thickness of potential barrier due to the formation of insulating layer and thus decrease in the degree of energy band bending. Both the PTCR effect and resistivity decrease with the increase of frequency due to the possible elimination of barrier layer at the grain boundary.
