Abstract: | Electrical conductivity of two types of lanthanum-doped barium titanote ceramics with different dopant levels was measured at temperatures between 900 and 1250° C andP

In a lightly lanthanum-doped specimen, semiconduction achieved at elevated temperatures is retained on cooling the specimen to room temperature, whereas in a heavily doped specimen, the resultant high-temperature semiconduction changed to insulation on cooling. The former behaviour on cooling is successfully explained by a metastabilization of oxygen vacancies accompanied by electrons formed at elevated temperatures. |
