Abstract
Indium-tin-oxide (tin-doped indium oxide) powders and the mixture of i ndium oxide In2O3 powders and tin oxide SnO2 powders were sintered pre ssurelessly in air with vanadium oxide V2O5 additive (1.0 wt.%) whose melting point (approximate to 690 degrees C) is much lower than the si ntering temperature. Densification was remarkably observed without sac rificing the electroconductivity; e.g. relative density of 96% and res istivity of 5.5 x 10(-4) Omega cm was obtained when sintered at 1400 d egrees C. The mechanism of the densification was discussed in terms of the liquid phase sintering and the formation of V-In-O compound. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
