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.

The effect of $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$ additives on fracture toughness of ${\beta}-SiC-TiB_2$ composites by hot-pressed sintering were investigated, The ${\beta}-SiC-TiB_2$ ceramic composites were hot-presse sintered and annealed by adding 4, 8, 12wt% $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$(6 : 4wt%) powder as a liquid forming additives at low temperature($1800^{\circ}C$) for 4h. In this microstructures, the relative density is over 97% of the theoretical density and the porosity increased with increasing $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$ contents because of the increasing tendency of pore formation. But the fracture toughness showed the highest of $7.0MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ for composites added with 12wt% $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$ additives at room temperature. The electrical resistivity showed the lowest of $1.59\times10^{-3}\Omega{\cdot}cm$ for composite added with 8wt% $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$ additives at room temperature and is all positive temperature coefficient resistance(PTCR} against temperature up to $700^{\circ}C$.

The effect of $Al_2O_3$ additives to $\beta-SiC+39vol.%ZrB_2$ electroconductive ceramic composites by pressureless sintering on microstructural, mechanical and electrical properties were investigated. The $\beta-SiC+39vol.%ZrB_2$ ceramic composites were pressureless sintered by adding 4, 8, 12wt.% $Al_2O_3$ powder as a liquid forming additives at $1950^{\cire}C$ for 1h. Phase analysis of composites by XRD revealed mostly of $\alpha-SiC(6H), ZrB_2$ and weakly $\alpha-SiC(4H), \beta-SiC (15R)$ phase. The relative density of composites was lowered by gaseous products of the result of reaction between \beta-SiC and Al_2O_3$, therefore, porosity was increased with increasing $Al_2O_3$ contents, and showed the maximum value of 1.4197MPa.$m^{1/2}$ for composite with 4wt.% $Al_2O_3$ additives. The electrical resistivity of $\beta-SiC+39vol.%ZrB_2$ electroconductive ceramic composite was increased with increasing $Al_2O_3$ contents, and showed positive temperature coefficient resistance (PTCR) in the temperature range of $25^{\cire}C$ to $700^{\cire}C$.

La가 혼입된 $BaTiO_3$를 균일침전법으로 제조하여 La의 혼입량 및 입자의 크기 변화에 따른 전기적 특성을 관찰하였다. 온도변화에 따른 저항을 측정한 결과 란탄의 농도가 0.6 mol%일 때 그리고 입자의 크기가 1.0 $\mu\textrm{m}$으로 작을 때 가장 큰 PTCR 효과를 나타내었다. 상전이온도($(T_c)$) 이상에서 온도와 1/$\varepsilon_m$(T)의 관계를 나타낸 도시에 의하면 유전상수의 변화가 Curie-weiss 법칙에 잘 다름을 알 수 있었다. 측정한 비저항과 유전상수로부터 계산한 전위장벽의 높이도 란탄의 농도가 0.6 mol%일 때 입자의 크기가 1.0$\mu\textrm{m}$으로 작을 때 가장 큰 전위장벽을 나타내었다.

The effect of $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$ additives on fracture toughness of ${\beta}-SiC-TiB_2$ composites by hot-pressed sintering was investigated. The ${\beta}-SiC-TiB_2$ ceramic composites were hot-press sintered and pressureless-annealed by adding 16, 20, 24 wt% ${\beta}-SiC-TiB_2$(6:4 wt%) powder as a liquid forming additives at low temperature(1800 $^{\circ}C$) for 4 h. Phase analysis of composites by XRD revealed mostly of ${\alpha}$-SiC(6H), $TiB_2$, and YAG($Al_5Y_3O_{12}$). The relative density was over 95-88 % of the theoretical density, and the porosity increased with increasing $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$ contents because of the increasing tendency of pore formation. The fracture toughness showed the highest value of 5.88 MPa${\cdot}m^{1/2}$ for composites added with 20 wt% $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$ additives at room temperature. The electrical resistivity showed the lowest value of $5.22{\times}10^{-4}\;{\Omega}\;{\cdot}\;cm$ for composite added with 20 wt% $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$ additives at room temperature, and was all positive temperature coefficeint resistance(PTCR) against temperature up to 900 $^{\circ}C$.

The effect of Re-oxidation on the PTCR properties of Sm-doped barium titanate ceramics was investigated by means of impedance spectroscopy. Electrical properties such as resistance vs. temperature, I-V curve were measured and microstructure was observed with SEM photography. Sample was fabricated with thick film process such as tape casting of green sheet, screen printing of electrode pattern, stacking, firing in reduced atmosphere and re-oxidation, etc. As the temperature of re-oxidation increases, resistance jump as a function of temperature enhances but resistance at room temperature increases. These behavior of resistance as a function of temperature, dependent on the re-oxidation condition, is analyzed with Cole-Cole impedance plot and is shown to be related with the degree of oxidation of grain boundary regardless of grain core during re-oxidation process of sample.

Although several kinds of conduction mechanism of PTC thermistor have been reported, there were few satisfying results. In this paper, the reported conduction mechanism theories were scrutinized and analyzed by using the experimental results. PTC thermistors for this study were manufactured by adding Sb$\_$2/O$\_$3/, AI$\_$2/O$\_$3/, TiO$\_$2/, and SiO$\_$2/ to BaTiO$\_$3/, and by sintering it at different temperatures. In order to analyze the conduction mechanism, R-T characteristics and its frequency dependence of specimens were measured. And also, the structures of specimens were studied. Especially this paper emphasized the explanation of the resistivity characteristics as the grain growth state of PTC thermistor specimens with respect to soaking temperature. According to the results, the resistivity of PTC thermistor whose grain was formed by semiconducting, was independent to the grain size at room temperature. For small and uniform grain size, the slope of the resistivity near the Curie temperature and the resistivity above the Curie temperature became greater and PTCR effect was improved.

We have investigated the influence of Ti/Ba mole ratio in the characteristics of the modified BaTiO$_3$systems with Ca addition. The specimens were fabricated with variations in Ti/Ba mole ratio between 0.995 and 1.01, and sintered in the temperature range between 13$25^{\circ}C$ and 1375$^{\circ}C$. The room temperature resistivity, PTCR effect and ac complex impedence characteristics were studied. It shows that the room temperature resistivity was increased with the increasing Ti/Ba mole ratio and sintering temperature. It was suggested that this result was mainly attributed to its grain-boundary properties

The effect of pressureless-sintered temperature on the densification behavior, mechanical and electrical properties of the $SiC-ZrB_2$ electroconductive ceramic composites was investigated. The $SiC-ZrB_2$ electroconductive ceramic composites were pressureless-sintered for 2 hours at temperatures in the range of $1,750{\sim}1,900[^{\circ}C]$, with an addition of 12[wt%] of $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$(6:4 mixture of $Al_2O_3\;and\;Y_2O_3$) as a sintering aid. The relative density and mechanical properties are increased markedly at temperatures in the range of $1,850{\sim}1,900[{^\circ}C]$. The relative density, flexural strength, vicker's hardness and fracture toughness showed the highest value of 81.1[%], 230[MPa], 9.88[GPa] and $6.05[MPa\;m^{1/2}]$ for $SiC-ZrB_2$ composites of $1,900[{^\circ}C]$ sintering temperature at room temperature respectively. The electrical resistivity was measured by the Pauw method in the temperature ranges from $25[{^\circ}C]\;to\;700[{^\circ}C]$, The electrical resistivity showed the value of $1.36{\times}10^{-4},\;3.83{\times}10^{-4},\;3.51{\times}10^{-4}\;and\; 3.2{\times}10^{-4}[{\Omega}{\cdot}cm]$ for SZ1750, SZ1800, SZ1850 and SZ1900 respectively at room temperature. The electrical resistivity of the composites was all PTCR(Positive Temperature Coefficient Resistivity). The resistance temperature coefficient showed the value of $4.194{\times}10^{-3},\;3,740{\times}10^{-3},\;2,993{\times}10^{-3},\;3,472{\times}10^{-3}/[^{\circ}C}$ for SZ1750, SZ1800, SZ1850 and SZ1900 respectively in the temperature ranges from $25[{\circ}C]\;to\;700[{\circ}C]$, It is assumed that because polycrystallines such as recrystallized $SiC-ZrB_2$ electroconductive ceramic composites, contain of porosity and In Situ $YAG(Al_5Y_3O_{12})$ crystal grain boundaries, their electrical conduction mechanism are complicated. In addition, because the condition of such grain boundaries due to $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$ additives widely varies with sintering temperature, electrical resistivity of the $SiC-ZrB_2$ electroconductive ceramic composites with sintering temperature also varies with sintering condition. It is convinced that ${\beta}-SiC$ based electroconductive ceramic composites for heaters or ignitors can be manufactured by pressureless sintering.
