Abstract
The solid solution of BaTiO3 was prepared by conventional solid state reaction. The electrical conductivity of TiO2-BaO system has been studied at different temperatures for various molar ratios. The isothermal conductivity increases with BaO concentration due to the vacancy migration phenomenon. It has been found that the electrical conductivity after attaining a maximum value at 240°C decreases with increase in temperature due to the collapse of the fluorite framework. A second rise in conductivity in the temperature range 470–540°C indicates the phase transition of TiO2 from anatase to rutile. AC Impedance measurements proved that the oxide ion conductivity predominantly arises from the grain contribution. The sample characterization and the study of phase transition changes were done by using XRD, FT-IR and DSC measurements. On increasing the concentration of BaO the transition temperature shifts towards higher side.
