Title: XPS study of ZnO-based varistor materials

Abstract

Many articles are devoted to the study of ZnO-based varistor materials. But an adequate model of the constitution of these materials, describing the entire variety of chemical processes proceeding during their formation, does not yet exist. The absence of such a model and lack of knowledge about the chemistry of these materials lead to the introduction of up to ten dopants in their formulations however, the effect of each of these dopants on the material properties may be unclear. It is possible to resolve this problem only through systematic study of the electronic structure of these materials, of the redox processes which determine the formation of the electronic structure of materials, and of the effect of dopants and impurities on redox processes both directly and through the formation of the ceramic sample microstructure. This work is devoted to the XPS study of zinc oxide doped with cobalt and praseodymium oxides.
