摘要:
An electron-emitting electrode for discharge lamps etc. uses an electron-emitting material which contains a first metal component selected from Ba, Sr and Ca and a second metal component selected from Ta, Zr, Nb, Ti and Hf and also contains oxynitride perovskite. The electron-emitting material has restrained evaporation during electric discharge and a high resistance to ion sputtering.

The PTC thermistor material of the invention comprises a matrix phase and electrically conductive phases substantially uniformly dispersed in the matrix phase, said conductive phases having a resistivity lower than that of the matrix phase, and has a resistivity changing sharply in the vicinity of the melting point of the conductive phases. The matrix phase is made up of any one of a polycrystalline ceramic material, a glass-polycrystalline ceramic composite material, a glass, a crystallized glass, and a polymer material, and the conductive phases are made up of a metal containing bismuth as a main component. It is thus possible to achieve a PTC thermistor material which can be controlled in terms of various properties such as the temperature at which PTCR property becomes available and the rate of resistivity change and so can be applied to circuit parts through which large currents pass in a normal operation state. Further, the PTC thermistor material can be easily manufactured with the stable PTCR property maintained. Furthermore, the PTC thermistor material can be operated with an increased rated current albeit being of small size, and has a high degree of shape freedom.

In preparing a zinc oxide base varistor in the form of a sintered body which itself has a voltage-dependent nonlinear resistance, firing is done in an atmosphere containing at least 60% of oxygen at or above the temperature at which additives form a liquid phase, and thereafter the sintered body is heat treated in an atmosphere containing at least 10% of oxygen at a temperature of 600.degree. to 1,000.degree. C. There is obtained a zinc oxide base varistor having a high energy handling capability, a high nonlinearity index .alpha., and satisfactory load life characteristics such as a humid load life.
摘要:
A novel non-linear resistance element or a varistor element is proposed which is a sintered body composed of a ternary oxide mixture comprising titanium dioxide as the base component, bismuth oxide and a third oxide component selected from the group consisting of oxides of tantalum, niobium and antimony admixed in limited proportions. The sintered body is prepared by subjecting the powder mixture obtained by admixing a solution containing tantalum, niobium or antimony with titanium dioxide and bismuth oxide to sintering following drying and calcination. The varistor element of the invention is stable in its performance and has a sufficiently high non-linearity index so that excellent noise suppressors are prepared with the varistor element to be useful in absorbing the noise voltages generated in various rotatory machines such as miniature motors.Further improvement in the above varistor element is proposed by adding a small amount of silicon dioxide to the ternary oxide mixtures.
