Surface electronic inhomogeneity of the (001)-SrTiO3:Nb crystal with a terrace-structured morphology

Abstract: Local surface conduction of the (001)-orientated SrTiO3:Nb crystal with a terrace-structured morphology has been studied by means of conductive atomic force microscope analysis. We found that the surface conductance is inhomogeneous on the atomic scale; it is high near step edges and low on terrace plateaus. The surface conductance fluctuation is susceptible to post annealing, first enhancing and then weakening while repeatedly annealed at 700 °C in vacuum. Considering the fact that the oxygen content is most … Show more

“…[ 9 ] (3 of 9) 1500368 wileyonlinelibrary.com within the range of the expected work function of Nb:STO whose electron affi nity is reported to be ≈4 eV. [ 19 ] This simplifi cation is justifi ed since, according to previous calculations, [ 11 ] most of the space charge region in a similar Fe:STO/Nb:STO junction falls in the Fe-doped side of the junction. It enables modeling the junction as an MIM structure, [ 20 ] wherein the insulator corresponds to the Fe:STO layer.…”

“…Silicon nanowire FET biosensors were fabricated by using thermal nanoimprint lithography [23] and the mold fabricated by chemical wet etching. Figure 4(a) shows the Si NW FET with the SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3 stack as the gate dielectric layer, and the inset shows the amplified NW with a width of about 50 nm.…”

“…In view of this importance, we conducted a MoS 2 -based resistive switching study in which (001)-oriented Nb:SrTiO 3 (Nb:STO) crystals were chosen as conducting materials. Surface control of Nb:STO has been studied for years, similar to SrTiO 3 (STO) treatment, and its electrical properties can be easily controlled by varying the dopant concentration. In this work, we studied resistive switching of 2D MX 2 materials on SrTiO 3 , which is a well-known dielectric and insulator but can be tailored as a semiconducting state by doping with Nb. Nb:STO is a rare and intriguing material because it is relatively transparent and conducting until it is doped with 5% of Nb.…”
