Abstract

In this study, M x Ti0.91−1.82x V0.09+0.82x O2 (0≤x≤0.1; M=Al, Cr, Fe) solid solutions have been synthesized by ceramic method and characterized by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. The results indicate that rutile solid solutions' stability depends on the trivalent cation (M). Solid solutions are stable at 1000 °C, but only when M=Cr is a single phase with rutile structure obtained at 1400 °C. The electrical behavior of the system studied corresponds to extrinsic p-type semiconduction and electrical conductivity is related to the stability of rutile solid solutions.
