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), 1982Starting 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), 1980Thermal 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, 1989Zinc 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].

Failure modelling for ZnO varistors
Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 1998Abstract The energy-absorption capability of zinc oxide varistors depends on both the binder burn-out and shrinkage rate of the disc. This paper presents a study of the development of a failure model of a varistor disc with a nominal voltage V nom =5 kV and a diameter of 42 mm manufactured by rate-controlled sintering.

The microstructure of a ZnO varistor material
Journal of Materials Science, 1985The microstructure of a ZnO varistor material has been investigated by a combination of X-ray diffractometry and analytical electron microscopy (SEM, TEM, STEM, EDX). The material was found to consist of: ZnO grains (doped with manganese, cobalt and nickel); smaller spinel grains which hinder the growth of ZnO grains during sintering; intergranular Bi ...

A barrier model for ZnO varistors
Journal of Applied Physics, 1979A model of current transport in ZnO varistors is proposed. The model is a modification of an earlier one suggested by Levine, with the major difference being the inclusion of a thin (?10 Å) ’’disordered’’ layer which separates the single-crystal ZnO grains.

Theory of conduction in ZnO varistors
Journal of Applied Physics, 1979A theory is presented which quantitatively accounts for the important features of conduction in ZnO-based metal-oxide varistors. This theory has no adjustable parameters. Using the known values of the ZnO band gap, donor concentration n0, and low-voltage varistor leakage-current activation energy, we predict a varistor breakdown voltage of ?3.2 V/grain

Conduction mechanisms in ZnO varistors
Journal of Applied Physics, 1980The thermionic emission enhanced by barrier lowering and the Zener tunnelling in ZnO varistors are discussed. Capacitance versus voltage, reverse current versus temperature, and 1/f noise measurements have been performed on commercial varistors. A model is proposed from which follows a diffusion voltage VD which is consistent both with the 1/C2 vs V ...

Synthesis and characterization of multilayered ZnO/glass/ZnO varistors
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2020Low-voltage surge filters are technologically important for the protection of modern computing and telecommunication systems operating at low voltages. In this context the design and characterization of varistors operating at low voltages constitutes a continuous challenge.
