采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了(La0.67Ca0.33MnO3)1-x∶Agx(x=0.00、0.10、0.15、0.20、0.3、0.4、0.5)系列多晶陶瓷样品,通过XRD、SEM和标准四探针法对材料晶体结构、表面形貌和电学性能的分析研究Ag的添加对材料性能的影响。结果表明:随着Ag添加量的增加,样品的晶格常数逐渐增大,这是由于Ag取代La3+、Ca2+进入晶格使其发生膨胀;并且样品的金属-绝缘体转变温度(Tp)随Ag添加量的增加而升高,从270 K(x=0)升高到281 K(x=0.5),这是由于Ag对La3+、Ca2+的替换导致Mn4+/Mn3+比例增大而提高了双交换作用。值得注意的是,当0.00≤x≤0.15时,TCR值随x的增大而增大,当x=0.15时达到最大值58.6%·K-1;0.15≤x≤0.5时,TCR反而随之降低,这可能是由于高添加量导致材料的烧结质量降低。
( La0. 67Ca0. 33 MnO3)1- x∶ Agx( x = 0. 00,0. 10,0. 15,0. 20,0. 3,0. 4,0. 5) polycrystalline ceramics were prepared by sol-gel method. The effects of Ag addition on the crystal structure,surface morphologies and electrical properties of( La0. 67Ca0. 33 MnO3)1- x∶ Agxwere studied by X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscope and standard four-probe method. The results show that the lattice parameters increases and the metal-insulator transition temperature( Tp) shifts from 270 K to 281 K as Ag addition increasing. This could be attributed to the enhancement of double-exchange between Mn3 +and Mn4 +in La0. 67Ca0. 33 MnO3where added Ag( Ag+) substituted for La /Ca. Moreover,the temperature coefficients of resistance( TCR) values drastically increases with Ag concentration x for 0. 00 ≤x≤0. 15 and the maximal TCR 58. 6% · K- 1is obtained at x = 0. 15. Nevertheless,the TCR value slowly decreases for 0. 15≤x≤0. 5,which could be interpreted by the deterioration of sintering quality.
