Grain boundary electric characterization of Zn7Sb2O12 semiconducting ceramic: A negative temperature coefficient thermistor

Spark Plasma Sintering of Negative Temperature Coefficient Thermistor Ceramics

A New Structure for Direct Measurement of Temperature Based on Negative Temperature Coefficient Thermistor and Adaptive Neuro-fuzzy Inference System

Thermistors are very commonly used for narrow temperature-range high-resolution applications, such as in medicine, calorimetry, and near ambient temperature measurements. In particular, Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor is very inexpensive and highly sensitive, whose sensing temperature range and sensitivity are highly limited due to the intrinsic nonlinearity and self-heating p...

Synthesis and characterization of high-temperature ceramic YBCO nanostructures prepared from a novel precursor

As a new precursor, [tris(2-hydroxyacetophenato) triaqua(III)], [Y(HAP)3(H2O)3]; complex was used in thermal decomposition process for the synthesis of rod-like high-temperature ceramic YBCO with length of about 320-350 nm and diameters 60–90 nm. The as-synthesized products were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, TEM, SEM and EDX analyses. The results showed that by u...

Unipolar memristive Switching in Bulk Negative Temperature Coefficient Thermosensitive Ceramics

A memristive phenomenon was observed in macroscopic bulk negative temperature coefficient nickel monoxide (NiO) ceramic material. Current-voltage characteristics of memristors, pinched hysteretic loops were systematically observed in the Ag/NiO/Ag cell. A thermistor-based model for materials with negative temperature coefficient was proposed to explain the mechanism of the experimental phenomen...
