Abstract

Present research presents CaTiO3 as an important negative temperature coefficient resistance (NTCR) thermistor material. Two routes were adopted such as solid state reaction and high energy ball milling (HEBM) for comparative analysis. X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Steinhart–Hart equation used for characterization of material formation and thermistor property. XRD pattern shows single phase orthorhombic symmetry or both samples. Electrical resistance found by LCR meter shows about NTCR behaviour and Steinhart–Hart model provides information for its suitability towards thermistor industry. To know the faster response nature time domain analysis performed on both samples. To the best knowledge, there are not much data available on properties of CaTiO3 as thermistor based temperature sensor material, which lead this research work. Enhanced sensing behaviour observed in CaTiO3 processed through HEBM. Both the samples signifies their strong potential in thermistor industry with sensitivity in the range of 4000–6700 K with exponential electrical resistance change in the specified temperature range.
