Strain‐Induced Redistribution of Point Defects in ZnO Nanoparticles
Small Science, Volume 6, Issue 3, March 2026.Powder compaction generates local strain effects in ZnO nanoparticles. This alters the abundance of intrinsic point defects and impacts the semiconductor's electronic structure. Such changes were analyzed by a combination of spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations and emphasize the importance of strain effects in the design and ...

Computer Simulation of ZnO Varistors Failures [PDF]
MRS Proceedings, 1997 ABSTRACTA simple thermo-mechanical model is applied to evaluate the influence of the nonuni-formity of ZnO varistor disks used in surge arresters on their energy handling capability. By solving heat transfer equations for a varistor disk with nonuniform electrical properties, we compute the time dependence of the temperature profile and the ...

Microstructural Characterization of ZnO Varistors.
Journal of the Japan Society of Powder and Powder Metallurgy, 1995 Two kinds of commercial ZnO system varistors were investigated with relevance to their microstructures. Particularly, face-to-face fracture surfaces were characterized in terms of secondary electron image and backscatterd electron image to clarify the existence of precipitates at the grain-to-grain interface.
