The samples were identically heat treated and sintered at 1000 degrees C for 12 h to study the influence of the surfactant on the nonlinear electrical properties of polycrystalline ZnO. It is observed that the nonlinear coefficient decreases marginally (alpha = 35) for samples prepared with surfactant, whereas breakdown field (E-B = 130 V/mm) decreased significantly. The corresponding parameters for the samples synthesized without surfactant are alpha = 45 and E-B = 400 V/mm. Hence, this method can be used for the manufacture of varistors with low to moderate breakdown fields. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

This technique is very useful and advantageous when the ternary oxides contain an alkaline earth element. The selected compositions for this method are BaCeO3 (BC), BaBiO3 (BB), La0.7Sr0.3CoO3 (LSCO) and BaBi2Nb2O9 (BBN). Commercially purchased strontium (or barium) hydroxide and freshly prepared lanthanum, cobalt, bismuth and niobium hydroxides were mixed thoroughly in stoichiometric ratio and heated at different temperatures ranging from 100 to 700 degrees C for 10 h for corresponding compositions. The sequence of the reaction and evolution of the product phase were studied by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies. The phase purity and lattice parameters were also determined by XRD investigations. All the product phases in each case were formed at relatively low temperature than when they were prepared by co-precipitation or solid state method. The morphology and average particle size of these powders were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
