摘要
The microstructure, electrical and dielectric properties, and DC-accelerated aging of the ZPCCA （ZnO-Pr6O11-CoO- Cr203-A1203） ceramics were investigated with various contents of Er203. The ceramic phases consisted of a bulk phase of ZnO grains, and a minor secondary phase of mixture of Pr6O11 and Er203. The increase of the content of doped Er203 increased the densities of sintered pellet from 5.66 to 5.85 g/cm3, and decreased the average grain size from 9.6 to 6.3 μm. With the increase of the content of doped Er203, the breakdown field increased from 2390 to 4530 V/cm, and the nonlinear coefficient increased from 28.4 to 39.1. The sample doped with 0.25 mol.% Er203 exhibited the strongest electrical stability; variation rates for the breakdown field measured at 1.0 mA/cm2, and for the non-ohmic coefficient were -3.4% and -23,8%, respectively, after application of a stress of 0.95 Eu/125 ℃/24 h.
