Moreover, artificial intelligence (AI) and 5G communication are successful, and the demand for high-performance memory is increasing. The emerging nonvolatile RRAM has many advantages, such as low power consumption, fast operation speed, simple structure and excellent scalability, compared with traditional memories; this is promising for complex computing and mass storage. Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a promising candidate for transparent conducting oxide (TCO) applications because of its abundance, high conductivity, low toxicity, and cost-effectiveness. It is currently used in various optoelectronic components including thin-film transistors (TFTs) and photodetectors. Notably, TCO has been increasingly used in the switching layers of random resistive access memory systems. In this paper, we intend to combine AGO with a large energy gap and ZnO with a high conductivity to prepare AGZO as a switching layer for RRAM by co-sputtering. By adjusting the oxygen flow ratio and power of co-sputtering, the AGZO RRAM exhibited high performance with more than 1400 switching cycles, 102–103 on/off ratio, and low operation voltage, and high- and low-resistance states could be maintained for more than 10,000[Formula: see text]s.","PeriodicalId":14108,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Modern Physics B","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141110840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The presence of GQDs in ZnO ETL facilitated photo-electrons at the ETL/perovskite interface by reducing charge transfer resistance in this interface.

It is found that BeO is an insulator, whereas MgO and SrO are semiconductors based on the energy gap value within GGA and HSE06. The electronegativity and bonding nature of XO nanosheets differ, resulting in considerable variations in thermodynamic parameters that follow a similar pattern as a function of temperature. Enthalpy and entropy increase with temperature whereas free energy falls, owing to a change in the binary oxide internal energy of the system and the electron density distribution. Thermal energy absorbed by the lattices grows with increasing temperature to the point at which all of their modes are activated and the systems start to display unharmonicity deviating from a linear dependence.
