Electrical Resistivity of Ca, Ba-Doped Lead Molybdate Ceramics

Abstract

Polycrystalline samples of Pb₁-x R_xMoO₄ (x = 0.00; 0.05; 0.10;
0.15 and R = Ca, Ba) were prepared using solid-state reaction technique.
Detailed studies of dc resistivity as function of biasing
electric field (0.5 to 9.2 kV/m) and temperature (304-573 K) indicate
that the compounds have non-ferroelectric properties but contain
space charge polarization at high temperatures.
