Hi There are indeed published works on the physics behind thermistors. The ones I’ve read (many decades ago …) didn’t say a lot about aging mechanisms beyond the usual stuff you could guess at. Things like humidity can contaminate the material, glass sealing is a good idea ( not a big surprise …

Bruce Griffith points to the note put out by Littelfuse. It is very meagre. It says that '...thermistors can be produced with typical drift of only 0.001˚C to 0.002˚C per Year." It doesn't say that they are produced and still less that Littelfuse produces them. Bruce also refers to thermistors
