Abstract

Current-voltage dependence for In2O3-SrOceramics contains three regions: linear at low voltages,superlinear at intermediate voltages (current is increasedstronger than voltage) and sublinear at higher voltages (currentis increased weaker than voltage). The appearance of sublinearregion after superlinear one cannot be explained by the existingtheory. Based on the experimental data (electrical measurements,SEM and XPS) a modified grain-boundary model is suggested. In themodel the additional adsorption of oxygen due to a capture ofelectrons at the grain-boundary states is assumed. Accordingly,the barrier height is increased and current is saturated.Calculated current-voltage dependences correspond experimentallyobserved ones.
