Structure of a Novel Spinel Li0.5Zn5/3Sb2.5/3O4 by Neutron and Synchrotron Diffraction Analysis
Crystals, 2017 Zn7/3Sb2/3O4 is a secondary phase in ZnO-based varistors. Acceptor impurities, such as Li+, increase the resistivity. This effect is produced by a modification of the grain boundary barriers.

Electrical properties of ZnO varistors prepared by direct mixing of constituent phases [PDF]
Science of Sintering, 2006 Varistor samples containing different amounts of constituent phases were prepared by direct mixing of constituent phases. Detailed electrical characterization was performed to explain the influence of minor phases (spinel and intergranular phases) on ...

European Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2016 A three-dimensional model of the varistor device is proposed. The thermal and electric conductivity of the material are taken to depend, in addition to the electric potential, on the temperature. Two theorems of existence and uniqueness of solutions for the boundary-value problem which determine the potential and the temperature inside the device are ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Electromagnetic sounding coupled with experimental measurements of electrical conductivity (EC) can provide valuable constraints on the thermochemical state of Earth's lower mantle. Here, we report a new set of experimentally determined EC values of pyrolite, a candidate composition of the lower mantle, between 25 and 80 GPa at room ...
