摘要：
Due to the scatter of properties of individual grain boundaries, a scatter of the behavior of low-voltage varistor components and asymmetric current voltage characteristics with respect to the electrical field direction is observed. Using complementary methods (thermography, scanning surface probe microscopy, electron back-scattered diffraction), we investigated the grain boundary behavior of Praseodymium type varistors. Measurements on the relevant grain boundaries revealed a newly observed effect: dependent on the field direction, the main current flows via different spatial paths. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
