Photoluminescence study of ZnO varistor stability

Journal of Electronic Materials, 1995
Photoluminescence (PL) measurements were carried out on commercial ZnO varistor samples that were electrically stressed and/or annealed at different temperatures. Changes in the intensity of green and yellow luminescence centers were studied as a function of annealing treatment.

Degradation phenomena of ZnO varistors

Physica Status Solidi (a), 1981
The dc degradation behaviour of ZnO varistors as a function of the variables current, temperature, and time is investigated. The degradation rate is phenomenologically presented by an equation reflecting the observed aging behaviour in dependence on the influencing variables.

Origin of ZnO Varistor

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, 1987
The varistor properties were examined in porous ZnO. The sample used contained no dopants such as Bi 2 O 3 or Pr 6 O 11 , which are usually considered to be useful in ...

Microchemistry of ZnO Varistors

Proceedings, annual meeting, Electron Microscopy Society of America, 1992
ZnO varistors are made by mixing semiconducting ZnO powder with powders of other metal oxides e.g. Bi2O3, Sb2O3, CoO, MnO2, NiO, Cr2O3, SiO2 etc., followed by conventional pressing and sintering. The non-linear I-V characteristics of ZnO varistors result from the unique properties that the grain boundaries acquire as a result of dopant distribution ...

Degradation in ZnO varistors

Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 1993
Among the mechanisms suggested to account for degradation of varistor materials, ion migration has strong support. Mobile, positively charged ions in the depletion layer would be the key element in degradation. In this context, the authors discuss the consequences of an electrical stressing on the current-temperature characteristic of a comment ...

Time Dependence of Degradation in ZnO Varistors

physica status solidi (a), 1982
Starting from the results of a previous paper on the functional relationship of the degradation of ZnO-varistors and the influence factors (especially U, I,T) an equation system is derived to describe the time-dependence of the degradation. The solutions including the contribution of degradation-, recovery- and increasing effects of currents and ...

Thermal breakdown in ZnO-varistor ceramics

Physica Status Solidi (a), 1980
Thermal breakdowns representing an essential mechanism for the lifetime limitation of ZnO-varistor ceramics are characterized with respect to the parameters of the breakdown point (especially breakdown temperature Tb) (for 21 °C as ambient temperature: Tb = 174 °C).

Photoconduction of ZnO-Bi2O3 varistors

Journal of Materials Science Letters, 1989
Zinc oxide (ZnO) ceramics with a few mol % Bi203, CoO, MnO, Sb203, etc., as additives exhibit a high non-ohmic property in their voltage-current characteristics [1, 2], and therefore they are called varistors and are widely used for surge protection against transient voltage and powder overload [3].
