Abstract
As a part of the research project the Hydrothermal Synthesis of MnZn ferite powder was performed with the use of an autoclave. A new autoclave was designed and manufactured, which makes possible the synthesis of ferrite powders above the supercritical point of water. Assessments the phase composition, morphology and the sinterability of the hydrothermally prepared powder were performed. An investigation of the characteristics of thermistors based on highly donor doped BaTiO3 revealed that by applying a low enough partial pressure of oxygen during sintering, followed by reoxidation, the PTCR anomaly can also be induced in these samples. Sintering of MnZn ferrites doped with Bi2O3 enables an increase in the permeability of MnZn ferrites by about 20%. This investigation elucidates the most probable mechanism, which governs the increase in magnetic permeability during sintering and microstructure developement of MnZn-ferrites studied. In addition, the semiconducting composition based on the binary systems Nd2O3-ZnO and Sm2O3-ZnO were studied. In both composite samples the PTCR effect was identified, the origin of which can be related to the percolation effect peviously identified in the recently studied model system, NiO-ZnO.
