Abstract
Elelctrical properties of $BaTiO_3$ were characterized with addition of $Y_2O_3, CaO,SiO_2$ and Mn to develope the composition of PTC thermistor suitable as a current limiting device for automobile motor system. With the addition of 0.2 mol% $Y_{2}O_3$ to $BaTiO_3$, the minimum resistance of 16.5 ${\Omega}{\cdot}$cm was obtained at room temperature. $(Ba_{0.996}Y_{0.004})TiO_3$ exibited a minimum resistance of 50${\Omega}{\cdot}$cm with addition of 1.6 mol% $SiO_2$. The grain size of $(Ba_{0.996}Y_{0.004})TiO_3$ decreased from 34.95 ${\mu}$m to 13.4 ${\mu}$m and thus breakdown voltage could be improved by changing the composition as $(Ba_{0.996}Y_{0.004}Ca_{0.05}) TiO_3$ with substition of 5 mol% Ca into Basites. When 0.04 mol% Mn was added, the optimum PTCR properties could be obtained : the resistivity at room temperature and ${\rho}_{max}/{\rho}_{min}$ were 30~40${\Omega}{\cdot}$cm and $1.5{\times}10^5$ respectively.
자동차 모터 작동시에 사용되는 전류 제어 소자의 써미스터 조성을 개발하기 위하여 $BaTiO_3$에 첨가제로써 $Y_{2}O_{3}CaO,SiO_{2}$ 및 Mn을 선정하여 실험하였다. 0.2mol%의 $Y_{2}O_3$, 첨가에서 가장 낮은 상온 저항 16.5${\Omega}{\cdot}$cm를, 1.6mol% $SiO_2$ 첨가에서 50${\Omega}{\cdot}$cm를 보였다. 5mol%의 Ca를 Ba와 치환한 조성에서는 결정립의 크기가 34.95${\mu}$m에서 13.4${\mu}$m로 감소하였으며, 0.04mol% Mn에서 상온저항 및 ${\rho}_{max}/{\rho}_{min}$가 각각 30~40${\Omega}{\cdot}$cm, $1.5{\times}10^5$의 우수한 특성을 나타내었다.
