Non-Linear Resistivity Materials for Pulse Power Application

Abstract

Several types of conducting materials exhibit drastic resistivity changes due to heating, photon injection, or due to application of electric fields. Two types of materials that change resistivity due to heating to temperatures of the order of 100 deg C have been investigated to establish whether they can be used to develop a reusable opening switch for high power inductive storage applications.
