Abstract

In this study, we investigated the effects of Cr dopant on the bulk trap level and grain boundary characteristics of $Bi_2O_3$-based ZnO (ZB) using dielectric functions such as $Z^*$, $Y^*$, $M^*$, ${\varepsilon}^*$, and $tan{\delta}$. More than two bulk traps of $Zn_i$ and $V_o$ probably in different ionization states could be identified in ZBCr($ZnO-Bi_2O_3-Cr_2O_3$). The grain boundaries of ZBCr could be electrochemically divided into two types: sensitive to ambient oxygen and thus electrically active one and oxygen-insensitive and thus electrically inactive one.
