Abstract
The electric properties of the semiconductor ceramic Zn7Sb2O12 were investigated by impedance spectroscopy. The grain resistance exhibits a thermistor behavior with negative temperature coefficient. Two regions on the resistance curve were identified. Each region shows a different thermistor characteristic parameter (β), which is equal to 3170 and 3845 °C, at measurement temperatures up to 350 °C and above 450 °C, respectively. The temperature coefficient of the resistance (α) was derived being equal to −2.59×10−2 °C−1 and −1.89×10−2 °C−1, at 350 and 450 °C, respectively. The anomalous behavior of the resistance is further evidence of phase transition phenomenon.
