Electrical properties of cerium-doped BaTiO3
The high-temperature equilibrium electrical conductivity of Ce-doped BaTiO3 was studied in terms of oxygen partial pressure, P(O-2), and composition. In (Ba1-xCex)TiO3, the conductivity follows the -1/4 power dependence of P(O-2) at high oxygen activities, which supports the view that metal vacancies are created for the compensation of Ce donors, and is nearly independent of P(O-2) where electron compensation prevails at low P(O-2). When Ce is substituted for the normal Ti sites, there is no significant change in conductivity behavior compared with undoped BaTiO3, indicating the substitution of Ce as Ce4+ for Ti4+ in Ba(Ti1-yCey)O-3. The Curie temperature (T-c) was systematically lowered when Ce3+ was incorporated into Ba2+ sites, whereas the substitution of Ce4+ for Ti4+ sites resulted in no change in this parameter.
