SINTERED PRODUCT FOR THERMISTOR ELEMENT AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF, AND TEMPERATURE SENSOR
摘要
A sintered product for a thermistor element containing Sr, Y, Mn, Al, Fe, Si and O, characterized in that it contains both crystal phases of a perovskite−type oxide and a garnet−type oxide and also contains at least one crystal phase of a Sr−Al based oxide and a Sr−Fe based oxide. In one embodiment, the crystal phase of the perovskite−type oxide is identified as YFeO<sb>3</sb> and/or YAlO<sb>3</sb>, and the crystal phase of the garnet −type oxide is identified as Y<sb>3</sb>Al<sb>5</sb>O<sb>12 </sb>and/or Y<sb>3</sb>Al<sb>2</sb>Fe<sb>3</sb>O<sb>12</sb>, by the measurement of powder X−ray diffractometry.
