Abstract

An abnormal field dependence of resistivity is observed in BaTiO3 positive temperature coefficient resistors (PTCRs) with a small averaged grain size. With this connection, a grain boundary tunneling model for the current conduction is proposed. This new model agrees with the both the measured electric field and temperature dependencies. It suggests that grain boundary tunneling of carrier is as important as the double Schottky barrier in the current conduction in small grain size BaTiO3 PTCRs.
