Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

The electrical properties of BaTi1−x M x O3 (M = Nb, Ta, Mo, W) ceramics (partial substitution of Group V (Nb, Ta) or VI (Mo, W) metals on the titanium site) have been studied by impedance spectroscopy. The results indicate that the Group VI metals (Mo and W) are less effective as donor dopants of barium titanate than are Nb and Ta because most of the Mo and W ions reside in the outer layer of the grains, raising its resistance.
