Abstract
The effect of Fe2O3 additions on the electrical properties and microstructure of yttria-doped barium titanate ceramics was studied by resistivity measurements and electron microscopy. Doping with ≥0.05 mol % Fe2O3 markedly increases the resistivity of the ceramics. The Fe atoms are nonuniformly distributed between BaTiO3 and the grain-boundary phase Ba6Ti17O40 .
