Influence of Intrinsic Trapping on The Performance Characteristics of ZnO-Bi2O3 Based Varistors by Mohammad A. Alim

“…This trapping is attributed to possible formation of ionized intrinsic or native defects, and believed to be predominant within the electric field falling regions across the microstructural grain-boundary electrical barriers. The nature of rapidity of this intrinsic trapping and the corresponding degree of uniformity/non-uniformity can be utilized in conjunction with relevant information on other competing trapping phenomena to assess an overall performance of these devices. …”
