Theoretical Study of Oligophenyl-based Double Barrier Molecular Device

Aranya B Bhattacherjee, Suman Dudeja

备注：: 16 figures

英文摘要：

We report an investigation of electron conduction in oligophenyl based double barrier molecular device. We have carried out analytical calculations and numerical simulations on isolated molecules, consisting of aromatic "pi" conjugated system made up of three phenyl rings separated by insulator groups -CH_{2}-, -SiH_{2}-, -GeH_{2}- and -SnH_{2}-. We show analytically as well as numerically that when the two insulator groups are different an asymmetric electron transport in the presence of external electric field is possible,thus resembling a diode which allows one way electron transport.

Spin-dependent resonant tunneling in symmetrical double-barrier structure

A theory of resonant spin-dependent tunneling has been developed for symmetrical double-barrier structures grown of non-centrosymmetrical semiconductors. The dependence of the tunneling transparency on the spin orientation and the wave vector of electrons leads to (i) spin polarization of the transmitted carriers in an in-plane electric field, (ii) generation of an in-plane electric current under tunneling of spin-polarized carriers. These effects originated from spin-orbit coupling-induced splitting of the resonant level have been considered for double-barrier tunneling structures.

Controlling shot noise in double-barrier magnetic tunnel junctions

We demonstrate that shot noise in Fe/MgO/Fe/MgO/Fe double-barrier magnetic tunnel junctions is determined by the relative magnetic configuration of the junction and also by the asymmetry of the barriers. The proposed theoretical model, based on sequential tunneling through the system and including spin relaxation, successfully accounts for the experimental observations for bias voltages below 0.5V, where the influence of quantum well states is negligible. A weak enhancement of conductance and shot noise, observed at some voltages (especially above 0.5V), indicates the formation of quantum well…

The role of ion transport phenomena in memristive double barrier devices

In this work we report on the role of ion transport for the dynamic behavior of a double barrier quantum mechanical Al/Al$_2$O$_3$/Nb$_{\text{x}}$O$_{\text{y}}$/Au memristive device based on numerical simulations in conjunction with experimental measurements. The device consists of an ultra-thin Nb$_{\text{x}}$O$_{\text{y}}$ solid state electrolyte between an Al$_2$O$_3$ tunnel barrier and a semiconductor metal interface at an Au electrode. It is shown that the device provides a number of interesting features for potential applications such as an intrinsic current compliance, a relatively long…

Resonant thermal transport in semiconductor barrier structures

I report that thermal single-barrier (TSB) and thermal double-barrier (TDB) structures (formed, for example, by inserting one or two regions of a few Ge monolayers in Si) provide both a suppression of the phonon transport as well as a resonant-thermal-transport effect. I show that high-frequency phonons can experience a traditional double-barrier resonant tunneling in the TDB structures while the formation of Fabry-Perot resonances (at lower frequencies) causes quantum oscillations in the temperature variation of both the TSB and TDB thermal conductances $σ_{\text{TSB}}$ and $σ_{\text{TDB}}$.

Quantum-level control in a III-V-based ferromagnetic-semiconductor heterostructure with a GaMnAs quantum well and double barriers

We investigate the spin-dependent tunneling properties in a three-terminal III-V-based ferromagnetic-semiconductor heterostructure with a 2.5-nm-thick GaMnAs quantum well (QW) and double barriers. We successfully control the quantum levels and modulate the spin-dependent current with varying the voltage of the electrode connected to the GaMnAs QW. Our results will open up a new possibility for realizing three-terminal spin resonant-tunneling devices.

Magnetic Diode Effect in Double Barrier Tunnel Junctions

A quantum statistical theory of spin-dependent tunneling through asymmetric magnetic double barrier junctions is presented which describes $both$ ballistic and diffuse tunneling by a single analytical expression. It is evidenced that the key parameter for the transition between these two tunneling regimes is the electron scattering. For these junctions a strong asymmetric behaviour in the I-V characteristics and the tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) is predicted which can be controlled by an applied magnetic field. This phenomenon relates to the quantum well states in the middle metallic layer. T…

In depth nano spectroscopic analysis on homogeneously switching double barrier memristive devices

Memristors based on a double barrier design have been analysed by various nano spectroscopic methods to unveil details about its microstructure and conduction mechanism. The device consists of an AlOx tunnel barrier and a NbOy/Au Schottky barrier sandwiched between Nb bottom electrode and Au top electrode. As it was anticipated that the local chemical composition of the tunnel barrier, i.e. oxidation state of the metals as well as concentration and distribution of oxygen ions, have a major influence on electronic conduction, these factors were carefully analysed. A combined approach was chosen…

Lateral current density fronts in asymmetric double-barrier resonant-tunneling structures

We present a theoretical analysis and numerical simulations of lateral current density fronts in bistable resonant-tunneling diodes with Z-shaped current-voltage characteristics. The bistability is due to the charge accumulation in the quantum well of the double-barrier structure. We focus on asymmetric structures in the regime of sequential incoherent tunneling and study the dependence of the bistability range, the front velocity and the front width on the structure parameters. We propose a sectional design of a structure that is suitable for experimental observation of front propagation and …

Random barrier double-well model for resistive switching in tunnel barriers

The resistive switching phenomenon in MgO-based tunnel junctions is attributed to the effect of charged defects inside the barrier. The presence of electron traps in the MgO barrier, that can be filled and emptied, locally modifies the conductance of the barrier and leads to the resistive switching effects. A double-well model for trapped electrons in MgO is introduced to theoretically describe this phenomenon. Including the statistical distribution of potential barrier heights for these traps leads to a power-law dependence of the resistance as a function of time, under a constant bias voltag…

Polarization-balanced design of AlN/GaN heterostructures: Application to double-barrier structures

Inversion- and depletion-regions generally form at the interfaces between doped leads (cladding layers) and the active region of polar heterostructures like AlN/GaN and other nitride compounds. The band bending in the depletion region sets up a barrier which may seriously impede perpendicular electronic transport. This may ruin the performance of devices such as quantum-cascade lasers and resonant-tunneling diodes. Here we introduce the concepts of polarization balance and polarization-balanced designs: A structure is polarization balanced when the applied bias match the voltage drop arising f…

A Lateral AlGaN/GaN Schottky Barrier Diode with 0.36 V Turn-on Voltage and 10 kV Breakdown Voltage by Using Double Barrier Anode Structure

In this letter, we demonstrate a lateral AlGaN/GaN Schottky barrier diode (SBD) on sapphire substrate with low turn-on voltage (Von) and high breakdown voltage (VBK). By using a double barrier anode (DBA) structure formed by the mixture of Platinum (Pt) and Tantalum (Ta), the Von of the SBD can be as low as 0.36 V with a leakage current of 2.5E-6 A/mm. Supported by the high-quality carbon-doped GaN buffer on sapphire, the VBK can reach more than 10 kV with the anode-to-cathode spacing of 85 μm. Combining the VBK and the specific on-resistance (Ron,sp) of 25.1 mΩ.cm^2, the power figure of merit…
