High‐temperature anomalies in resistivity and thermoelectric power of thick‐film resistors and their conduction mechanism
Annotatsiya
Abstract Resistivity ρ and thermoelectric power S of RuO 2 ‐based thick‐film resistors were measured in tempera‐ ture range T = 77–1100 K. Sharp maxima of ρ and S occur at 1000 K. ρ = 7.5 × 10 3 Ω cm and S = +90 μV/K at the maxima, while ρ = 2.5 × 10 3 Ω cm and S = +10 μV/K at room temperature. Thermoelectric power becomes negative at temperatures in the range 700–800 K and 1000–1070 K. It is assumed that the peculiarities of ρ and S are caused by structural changes in compounds of the lead‐silicate glass used in the thick‐film resistors. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
