Abstract:
ZnO based varistor samples having composition formela as shown below : - (X) is a variable take values (X = 0 , 0.1 , 0.5 , 1) % mol were prepared by a solid state reaction and sintered in air at a different sintering temperatures (1000,1100 and 1200)ᴼC for 2h by a heating rate of (5ᴼC. min - 1). The microstructure and electrical properties of sintered samples were investigated by using X - ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), as well as electrical meas urements. XRD analyses showed that the crystallite size was decreased with the increase of Al2O3 concentration while it was increased with the increase of sintering temperature. Also from SEM images and by using linear intercept method we note that the grain size decreases with the increase of Al2O3 concentration while it increases with the increase of sintering temperature. Since the breakdown voltage is influenced by the size and the number of grains , so it was increased with the increase of Al2O3 concentration at certain sintering temperature to reach (2220V) at sample contains (1% of Al2O3) and sintered at 1000ᴼC for 2h, this is due to form a spinal phase (ZnAl2O4) which inhibits the grain growth.Also the breakdown voltage was decreased with the increase of sintering temperature at certain Al2O3 concentration to reach (255V) at sample sintered at 1200ᴼC for 2h and contains (0.1% l of Al2O3).By plotting the (J - E) curves of varistor samples we can notes that the adding of (0.1 and 0.5) % of Al2O3 dopants enhances the nonlinear behavior of ZnO varistor by increasing the nonlinear coefficient to reach its maximum values (46, 48) respectively which are sintered at 1000ᴼC for 2h, while the increase of Al2O3 concentration to(1% ) decreases the nonlinear coefficient to (29.2) which are sintered at 1000ᴼC for 2h .Compound ZnO Bi2O3 Sb2O3 CoO MnO2 Cr2O3 Al2O3 % mol 96.5 - X 0.7 1 0.8 0.5 0.5 X The increase of sintering temperature decreases the nonlinear coefficient to reach its minimum values (6.9, 8) at samples sintered at 1200ᴼC for 2h and contain a different amounts of Al2O3 concentration, this is due to the bad volatilization of bismuth that insured by (EDX) test.The leakage current was increased with the increase of both Al2O3 concentration and sintering temperature to reach its maximum value (0.33mA) at a sample which contains (1% ) of Al2O3 concentration and sintered at 1200ᴼC for 2h, that is because the Aluminum increases the free electrons (donor density ) at the conduction band.Deilectric constant decreases with the increase of the frequancy of the applied voltage for the samples which containe 0.1% of Al2O3 and sintered at (1000 and 1200)ᴼC for 2h and for the sample contain 1% of Al2O3 and sintered at 1000ᴼC, the deilectric constant decreases with the increase of sintering temperature while tangent factor increases with the increase of Al2O3 concentration, this is due to the increase of leakage current.
