Abstract
A sharp positive temperature coefficient of resistivity effect for undoped, fluorinated BaTiO3−x samples was observed. The qualitative agreement between the behavior of BaTiO3−x and La‐doped BaTiO3, with respect to the trap density at the boundaries, suggests that in the absence of counterdopants such as Mn, the main origin of surface acceptor states is chemisorbed gases. Impedance analysis indicates that, under the conditions of the present work, fluorine seems not to diffuse in significant amounts into the lattice. The treatment of the fluorinated samples in inert/reducing atmospheres did not markedly decrease the resistivity jump, suggesting that fluorine might be chemisorbed more strongly than oxygen. The composition of two different liquid phases, produced by excess titania and silica additions, did not have an important effect on the resulting properties.
