Abstract
Bi 1.5 ZnSb 1.5 O 7 dielectric ceramic with pyrochlore structure was investigated by impedance spectroscopy from 400 to 750 °C. Pyrochlore was synthesized by the polymeric precursor method, a chemical synthesis route derived from Pechini’s method. The grain or bulk resistance exhibits a sensor temperature characteristic, being a thermistor with a negative temperature coefficient (NTC). Only a single region was identified on the resistance curve investigated. The NTC thermistor characteristic parameter (β) is equal to 7140 °C, in the temperature range investigated. The temperature coefficient of the resistance (α) was derived, being equal to −4.46×10−2 °C−1 at 400 °C. The conduction mechanism and relaxation are discussed.
