Popis: The effect of MnCO 3 doped from 0 to 55 mol% into BaO–(Nd 0.7 Sm 0.3 ) 2 O 3 –4TiO 2 (BNST) sintered in a reducing atmosphere on the microstructure and electrical properties was studied. Mn 3+ completely substituted into Ti 4+ -sites of BNST to form a solid solution, so there is no second phase until 42 mol% which is the maximum solubility. Mn ( 43 mol%), the second Mn-rich phase due to excess of Mn 3+ substituted into Ti 4+ -site, corresponding to original BaO–(Nd 0.7 Sm 0.3 ) 2 O 3 –4TiO 2 (1 1 4) phase, is formed. Mn (>43 mol%)-doped BNST sintered in a reducing atmosphere is in an insulating state because the concentration of the acceptors is higher than that of liberated free electron, so the insulation resistance becomes high and tan δ becomes low. The formation of the second Mn-rich phase affects Q × f factor and temperature coefficient of capacitance (T.C.C.) of BNST significantly.
