Enhanced anti-Ohmic effect in NiFe/KTaO3 Schottky junction
The anti-Ohmic effect in a Schottky junction is an interesting phenomenon in the process of non-equilibrium carriers' diffusion. When this phenomenon occurs, the voltage decreases with the increase in the resistivity under a constant diffusion current. Compared with the p-Si/NiFe Schottky junction, KTaO3 with a wider bandgap is used as the substrate in this work, and the anti-Ohmic effect is significantly enhanced. Through in-depth investigation, we have ruled out the influence of substrate resistivity and finally attributed the enhancement of the anti-Ohmic effect to a decreased ideality factor in the KTaO3/NiFe junction. By analyzing the relationship between anisotropic lateral photovoltage (ALPV) and anisotropic magnetoresistance, it is found that the theoretical dependence of ALPV on temperature is consistent with the experimental results. This research provides an idea and a theoretical basis for further optimizing the performance of electronic devices based on Schottky junctions.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
