Abstract

In the article, the electrical properties of single grains and single grain boundaries in donor doped BaTiO3 ceramics have been investigated. The results show that the grains have no positive temperature coefficient of resistance effect (PTCR effect) if the influence of electrode was neglected. The results also show that different grain boundaries have various PTCR effect. The characteristics of current-voltage do not follow the Heywang model and accord with our modified model. The maximum barrier heights of single grain boundaries are also deduced experimentally.
