Abstract: In this paper the resistance properties of PTCR barium titanate [Ba0.93Sr0.03Ca0.04 TiO3xmolY2O3+1wt% AST] were measured near Curie-temperature by a complex impedance analyzer(HP4192A) from 10Hz to 10MHz. It was observed that PTCR sample exhibits an abnormal negative-temperature- coefficient in frequencies higher than 50kHz. This phenomenon can be simply explAlNed by the two dielectric-layer model, and with this model, the behavior of effectivedielectric constant and its loss in wide frequency range can be explained as well.

Key words: PTCR ceramics, high-frequency resistance, abnormal
