Abstract:
A joined body 20 includes a porous ceramic 22 made of porous ceramic, a metal member 24 made of a metal, and a joint 30 formed of an oxide ceramic that penetrates into pores 23 of the porous ceramic 22 and joins the porous ceramic 22 to the metal member 24. The penetration depth of the oxide ceramic into the pores of the porous ceramic is preferably 10 μm or more, and more preferably 15 to 50 μm. The joined body 20 may be produced through a joining step of forming a joint by placing a metal raw material between a porous ceramic and a metal member and firing the metal raw material in the air at a temperature in the range of 400° C. to 900° C., where an oxide ceramic produced by oxidation of the metal raw material penetrates into the pores of the porous ceramic in the joint.

Abstract:
A voltage nonlinear resistive element 10 includes a resistor 14 containing a joined body 12 in which a zinc oxide ceramic layer 12a composed mainly of zinc oxide and having a volume resistivity of 1.0×10−1 Ωcm or less is joined to a bismuth oxide layer 12b composed mainly of bismuth oxide, and a pair of electrodes 16 and 18 disposed on the resistor 14 such that an electrically conductive path passes through a junction between the zinc oxide ceramic layer 12a and the bismuth oxide layer 12b. In this element 10, the zinc oxide ceramic layer 12a of the joined body 12 has a lower volume resistivity than before. This can result in a lower clamping voltage in a high-current region than before.
Abstract:
In a multilayer body according to the present invention, two or more materials having different dielectric constants are stacked, at least one of the two or more materials having different dielectric constants is composed of particles having a core-shell structure, and the multilayer body is free of glass. In this multilayer body, for example, a first material having a first dielectric constant of 1000 or more and a second material having a second dielectric constant that is lower than the first dielectric constant may be stacked. The first material may be a BaTiO3 material, and the second material may be one or more selected from the group consisting of BaO—TiO—ZnO materials, BaO—TiO2—Bi2O3—Nd2O3 materials, and BaO—Al2O3—SiO2—ZnO materials. The multilayer body may be manufactured by using an aerosol deposition method for spraying a substrate with a raw powder in an atmosphere having a pressure lower than atmospheric pressure.
