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 ...

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 ...

Data-Driven Matching Methodology for Enhanced MOV Current Sharing in DC Solid-State Circuit Breakers
IEEE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics SocietyMetal oxide varistors (MOVs) are widely used as the energy absorption branch in DC solid-state circuit breakers (SSCBs), but reliable operation requires predictable current and energy sharing among paralleled MOV discs. This article proposes a low-effort,

The Role of Polypyrrole in Electrical Properties of ZnO-Polymer Composite Varistors [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, 2017 Composite films on the base of ZnO with different weight percentages of polypyrrole have been prepared using the hot pressing method and their current-voltage characteristics have been studied. Results show that the films have nonlinear varistor behavior
