Microstructure and positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) characteristics of $0.9BaTiO_3-0.1(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TiO_3$ [BaBiNT] ceramics doped with $Nb_2O_5$ were investigated in order to develop the Pb-free high Curie temperature ($T_c$)(>$160^{\circ}C$) PTC thermistor. The BaBiNT ceramics showed a tetragonal perovskite structure, irrespective of the added amount of $Nb_2O_5$. They also have a homogeneous microstructure. The resistivity of BaBiNT ceramics was gradually decreased by doping $Nb_2O_5$, which might be due to $Nb^{+5}$ ions substituting for $Ti^{+4}$ sites. The PTCR characteristics of BaBiNT ceramics appeared when the amount of doped $Nb_2O_5$ exceeded 0.0025mol%. Moreover, the abrupt grain growth was observed for the 0.03mol% $Nb_2O_5$added BaBiNT ceramics. It showed an especially high $T_c$ of approximately $172^{\circ}C$ and good PTCR characteristics of a high $\rho_{max}/\rho_{min}$ ratio ($2.96\times10^3$), a high resistivity temperature factor (11.40/$^{\circ}C$) along with a relatively low resistivity ($3.5\times10^4\Omega{\cdot}cm$).

BaTiO3 ceramics doped with 0.1 to 4.0 mol% Nb2O5 were prepared by conventional solid stage sintering process, so as to investigate the effect of the amount of Nb2O5 on the dielectric properties and complex impedance patterns of barium titanates. From the measurement of capacitance, we found that the dielectric constant of BaTiO3 samples with 1 mol% or more Nb2O5 remained approximately constant around room temperature with values higher than 2500. In this paper, the effect of impurity content as well as temperature on complex impedance patterns was discussed in detail. In particular, the grain and grain boundary behavior of samples which showed PTCR characteristics was discussed in terms of measuring temperature.

Effect of MoO3 additiion on the semiconductive BaTiO3 ceramics doped with 0.2 mole% Nb2O5 and their frequency characteristics have been investigated on the view of intergranular barrier layer model through the observation of changes in their electrical properties. The resistivity increases with the increase of MoO3 addition, but the capacitance, the frequency dependence of capacitance and the effect of positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) decrease. It is explained by the possible increase in the thickness of potential barrier due to the formation of insulating layer and thus decrease in the degree of energy band bending. Both the PTCR effect and resistivity decrease with the increase of frequency due to the possible elimination of barrier layer at the grain boundary.

Perovskite structured barium titanate particles ($BaTiO_3$) platelets were synthesized by molten salt synthesis and topochemical microcrystal conversion. As the precursors of $BaTiO_3$, plate-like $BaBi_4Ti_4O_{15}$ particles were first synthesized by the reaction of $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$, $BaCO_3$, and $TiO_2$ at $1080^{\circ}C$ for 3 h in $BaCl_2$-KCl molten salt. After the topochemical reactions, layer-structured $BaBi_4Ti_4O_{15}$ particles transformed to the perovskite $BaTiO_3$ platelets. $BaTiO_3$ particles with thickness of approximately $0.5{\mu}m$ and a length of $10-15{\mu}m$ retained the morphology feature of the $BaBi_4Ti_4O_{15}$ precursor. For <001> $Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-32.5PbTiO_3$ (PMNT)-5 wt % PbO piezoelectric ceramics textured with 5 vol % of $BaTiO_3$ templates, the Lotgering factor reached 0.82, and $d_{33}$ was 870 pC/N.

The composition of glasses to be suitable for crystallisation of $BaTiO_3$ by heat-treatment and the dielectric properties of the glass-ceramics were investigated. The composition of the family of glasses was defined by the formula $\chi$ $BaTiO_3 + (100-$\chi$)Al_2O_3$.$2SiO_2$ and excess BaO. Data were presented on dielectric constant and loss tangent at various frequencies. The effects of excess BaO on dielectric properties were investigated. The additions of $Na_2O$ and $Nb_2O_5$ shifted the Curite temperature of these glass-ceramics. The glass composition which was able to be melted at 145$0^{\circ}C$ and moulded as homogeneous glass phase without devitrification should contain $Al_2O_3$.$2SiO_2$ more than 30 mole %. The more the amount of additive BaO increased, the more dielectric constant increased. When the maximum heat-treatment temperature was 105$0^{\circ}C$, we obtained higher dielectric constant than that of 95$0^{\circ}C$. The dielectric constant and the dielectric loss were stable at frequencies between 5$\times$104 and 107 cycle per second. When $Na_2O$ and $Nb_2O_5$ were added, the Curie temperature, presented at 14$0^{\circ}C$ to 15$0^{\circ}C$, shifted to lower temperature. Therefore, the glass-ceramics having high dielectric constant at room temperature were obtained.

0.96$(Na_{0.5}K_{0.5})NbO_3$-0.04$(Ba_{(1-x)}Sr_x)TiO_3$ lead free piezoelectric ceramics were synthesized to enhance the piezoelectric properties of (Na,K)$NbO_3$. The systhesis and sintering method were the conventional solid state reaction method and general sintering method in air atmosphere. The polymorphic phase transition(PPT) was observed at all composition(0 $\leq$ x $\leq$ 0.05) when $(Ba_{(1-x)}Sr_x)TiO_3$ were added in the $(Na_{0.5}K_{0.5})NbO_3$. As Sr concentration was increased, grain size, dielectric loss(tan$\delta$) and mechanical quality factor($Q_m$) were decreased and piezoelectric constant($d_{33}$) and electromechanical coupling factor($k_p$) were increased within a limited value. The optimized piezoelectric and properties, $d_{33}$, $k_p$, $Q_m$, and tand, of 0.96$(Na_{0.5}K_{0.5})NbO_3$-0.04$(Ba_{(1-x)}Sr_x)TiO_3$ were 139 pC/N, 0.31 %, 95, 0.04 at the composition of x=0.04.

Lead-free $0.94(Na_{0.5}K_{0.5})NbO_3$-0.06Ba$(Ti_{0.9}Sn_{0.1})O_3$ [0.94NKN-0.06BTS] ceramics doped with 1 mol% $MnO_2$ were synthesized by a conventional solid state method. The phase transitional behavior and piezoelectric properties of the ceramics sintered at various temperatures were investigated. The 0.94NKN-0.06BTS ceramics sintered at $1050^{\circ}C$, having morphotropic phase boundary of orthorhombic and tetragonal phases, exhibited a microstructure with abnormal grain growth. A diffused phase transition behavior for all the specimens was verified as high degree of diffuseness (${\gamma}$) values from 1.45 to 1.79. A high piezoelectric constant of $d_{33}=256$ pC/N and a satisfactory electromechanical coupling factor of $k_p=42%$ were obtained for the relatively dense 0.94NKN-0.06BTS ceramics sintered at $1050^{\circ}C$.

The PTCR characteristics of (Ba0.8Pb0.2)TiO3 ceramics prepared by the molten salt sysnthesis (MSS) method have been investigated as a function of the amount of Nb2O5 dopant and KCl flux. When the weight ratio of KCl to raw material is 0.8, the resistivity at room temperature decreases with increasing amount of Nb dopant up to 0.6 atom%. It can be explained by compensation for electrons due to Nb+5 ion and holes due to K+ ion. The resistivity of (Ba0.8Pb0.2)(Ti0.994Nb0.006)O3 ceramics at room temperature decreases with increasing the ratio of KCl to raw material up to 0.6, and then increases. These results can be explained by the effect of K+ ion.

The effects of $Nb_2O_5$ and $MnO_2$ on the positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) behavior of lead-free $Ba_{0.99}(Bi_{1/2}Na_{1/2})_{0.01}TiO_3$ (BaBiNT) ceramics were investigated in order to fabricate a PTC thermistor available at high temperature of > $120^{\circ}C$. In particular, 0.05 mol% $Nb_2O_5$ added BaBiNT ceramic, which has significantly increased Curie temperature (Tc) of $160^{\circ}C$, showed good PTCR behavior; low resistivity at room temperature $(\rho_r)$ of $80.1{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, a high $\rho_{max}/\rho_{min}$ ratio of $5.65{\times}10^3$ and a large resistivity temperature factor (a) of 18.5%/$^{\circ}C$. Furthermore, the improved $\rho_{max}/\rho_{min}$ of $6.48{\times}10^4$ and a of 25.4%/$^{\circ}C$ along with higher $T_c$ of $167^{\circ}C$ despite slightly increased $\rho_r$ of $569{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, could be obtained for the BaBiNT + 0.05 mol% $Nb_2O_5$ + 0.02 wt% $MnO_2$ ceramic cooled down at a rate of $200^{\circ}C/h$.

반도체화 첨가제인 $Y_2O_3$와 $Nb_2O_5$ 첨가랑 변화에 따른 PTCR $BaTiO_3$ 세라믹스의 결정구조 해석과 상전이 특성을 연구하기 위하여 ($Ba_{0.85}Ca_{0.15})TiO_3$ ＋ X m/o $Nb_2O_5$(Y m/o $Y_2O_3$) ＋ 0.08 w/o $Mn(NO_3)_2$ㆍ$6H_2O$ ＋ 0.25 w/o $SiO_2$ 계에서 X는 0.1 ~ 0.4로 Y는 0.2 ~ 0.4로 각각 변화시켜 실험을 수행하였다. $Nb_2O_5$의 첨가시 B-site 치환에 따라서 격자상수가 선형적으로 변화하다가 0.3 mol% 이상 치환할 경우 c 축의 격자상수가 급격히 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 이는 octahedron distortion둥의 원인으로 판단되며, 이러한 격자상수 변화는 상전이 온도 결과와도 잘 일치함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 $Y_2O_3$ 첨가의 경우 0.3 mol%가지는 A, B-site를 각각 치환하며 그 이상부터는 A-site 이온을 주로 치환하는 것을 격자상수 변화와 상전이 온도결과를 통해 알 수 있었으며, Rietveld 해석결과 $Y^{3+}$가 A-site 치환시 $Ba^{2＋}$와 $Ca^{2＋}$를 같은 비율로 치환한다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
