隧道通过Al/AlOx/Al结:分析模型和第一原理模拟

Tunneling through Al/AlOx/Al junction: analytical models and first principles simulations

M. Zemanová Diešková, A. Ferretti, P. Bokes

摘要:

我们从第一性原理出发研究了Al/AlOx/Al隧道结的输运性质。在此基础上,分析了梯形势垒模型和紧束缚模型两种电导解析模型的可靠性。我们的研究结果表明:(1)模型中所用的界面宽度由电子密度分布决定,它比原子排列所期望的宽度要小;(ii)可以从氧化物能带结构计算中确定有效质量,发现其约为自由电子质量的三分之一,以及(iii)势垒高度由氧化物中带隙的四分之一给出,这解释了在实验上对于这些结发现的明显小的值。

英文摘要:

We study from first principles the transport properties of Al/AlOx/Al tunnel junctions. On this basis, we analyze the reliability of two analytical models for the conductance, namely the trapezoid potential barrier model and a tight-binding model. Our findings show that (i) the interface width used in the models is determined by the electronic density profile, and it is shorter than the width one expects from the atomic arrangements; (ii) the effective mass}, found to be about on third of the free electron mass, can be determined from the oxide band-structure calculations, and (iii) the barrier height is given by one fourth of the bandgap in the oxide, which explains the apparently small values found for these junctions experimentally.
