Grain Boundary Space Charge Engineering of Solid Oxide Electrolytes: Model Thin Film Study
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 14, 16 February 2026.This study demonstrates unprecedented control of grain boundary electrical properties in solid electrolytes. Selective diffusion of cations through grain boundaries in thin films enables 12 orders of magnitude variation in ionic resistance, proving that systematic chemical modification of grain boundary electrical properties is feasible.

Nature and Characteristics of a Voltage-Biased Varistor and its Embedded Transistor
IEEE Journal of the Electron Devices Society, 2015 An unorthodox approach for producing simple and yet practical transistors based on ceramic platforms is discussed in this paper. To achieve this, we modify the original nonlinear current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of a varistor by superimposing a ...

Transformers Magazine, 2022 Current transformers are used to monitor large currents within power grids and power stations, producing a current in the device’s secondary winding that is proportional to the current flowing in its primary winding. Varistors are used to protect current transformers by preventing an open circuit condition if the secondary is disconnected, which can ...
