Notes:
For large-grained manganese zinc (MnZn) ferrite ceramics, grain misorientation determined by electron backscatter diffractions and grain-boundary resistance measured using microcontact impedance spectroscopy have been correlated. The degree of oxidation of grain boundaries and, hence, the barrier height depends on the overall grain-boundary network as well as on the individual boundary structure; therefore, a statistical analysis has been performed based on several hundreds of local measurements. When the boundaries are divided into low- and high-resistance groups, statistically significant differences in rotation axis and angle distributions are found. The misorientation distribution of the low-resistance boundary group is suggested to reflect the low-energy configurations of boundary planes in MnZn ferrites.
