Abstract

The zero-band gap semiconductor PbPdO2, with its distinctive energy band structure, holds substantial promise for spintronic device applications. In this study, PbPdO2 films with different vacancy concentrations and (002) preferred orientation were prepared by sol–gel and pulsed laser deposition (PLD). All films exhibited a positive colossal electroresistance (CER) effect, indicating their potential in spintronics. The critical temperatures (Tc) for films with distinct Pb vacancy concentrations were 260 K, 290 K, and 355 K, respectively. The correlation between Tc and barrier height near O1- site was revealed. The distance between O2p and Pb 6s6p band centers is calculated by first-principles, and the barrier model determining Tc is confirmed. Additionally, the magnetic properties of PbPdO2 come from O1- and are affected by the vacancy concentration. The positive CER effect and magnetic source of PbPdO2 thin films can be well explained by the internal electric field model and first principles. Finally, a crossover between weak anti-localization (WAL) and weak localization (WL) was observed in PbPdO2 films, indicating that the quantum transport performance of PbPdO2 films can be achieved by regulating the vacancy content, which provides a comprehensive guide for the design and optimization of PbPdO2-based spintronic devices.

PbPdO2薄膜的结构、电、磁输运和量子输运性质:实验和第一性原理研究
零带隙半导体PbPdO2以其独特的能带结构,在自旋电子器件应用中具有很大的前景。本研究采用溶胶-凝胶和脉冲激光沉积(PLD)法制备了不同空位浓度和(002)择优取向的PbPdO2薄膜。所有薄膜都表现出正的巨电阻效应,表明它们在自旋电子学中的潜力。不同Pb空位浓度薄膜的临界温度(Tc)分别为260 K、290 K和355 K。揭示了Tc与O1位点附近屏障高度的相关关系。利用第一原理计算了O2p和pb6s6p带中心之间的距离,并证实了决定Tc的势垒模型。此外,PbPdO2的磁性能来源于O1-,并受空位浓度的影响。内部电场模型和第一性原理可以很好地解释PbPdO2薄膜的正CER效应和磁源。最后,在PbPdO2薄膜中观察到弱反局域化(WAL)和弱局域化(WL)之间的交叉,表明可以通过调节空位含量来实现PbPdO2薄膜的量子输运性能,这为PbPdO2自旋电子器件的设计和优化提供了全面的指导。
