纳米颗粒金属中充电能量调制的介电传感

Dielectric sensing by charging energy modulation in a nano-granular metal

Michael Huth, Florian Kolb, Harald Plank

摘要:

在过去的几年中,已经开发了几种使用通过聚焦电子束诱导沉积制备的纳米结构的传感概念。介绍了基于纳米颗粒铂碳结构(Pt(C))的超小型化软磁Co磁敏霍尔传感器、应变和力敏霍尔传感器的研究工作。最近,纳米颗粒Pt(C)结构通过电导调制检测吸附物水层的存在的能力被证明。对于磁和应变传感,传感效应的基本物理机制已经被详细分析,现在已经很好地理解。这是不是吸附层诱导的电导调制效应的情况下。在这里,我们提供了一个理论框架,允许观察到的水感效应的半定量的理解。我们展示了如何在纳米颗粒金属中的库仑充电能量的近界面重整化的介电屏蔽的可极化吸附层导致电导调制。该模型可以解释在水吸附实验中观察到的电导调制,也可以应用于理解由纳米颗粒Pt(C)顶部的铁电薄膜的近界面介电异常引起的类似效应。我们的研究结果提供了一个途径,优化的纳米颗粒层结构,适用于广泛的介电或局部电位传感应用。

英文摘要:

Several sensing concepts using nanostructures prepared by focused electron beam induced deposition have been developed over the last years. Following work on highly miniaturized Hall sensors for magnetic sensing with soft magnetic Co, strain and force sensing based on nano-granular platinum-carbon structures (Pt(C)) was introduced. Very recently the capability of nano-granular Pt(C) structures to detect the presence of adsorbate water layers by conductance modulations was demonstrated. For magnetic and strain sensing the underlying physical mechanisms of the sensing effect have been analyzed in detail and are now quite well understood. This is not the case for the adsorbate layer induced conductance modulation effect. Here we provide a theoretical framework that allows for a semi-quantitative understanding of the observed water-sensing effect. We show how the near-interface renormalization of the Coulomb charging energy in the nano-granular metal caused by the dielectric screening of the polarizable adsorbate layer leads to a conductance modulation. The model can account for the conductance modulation observed in the water adsorbate experiments and can also be applied to understand similar effects caused by near-interface dielectric anomalies of ferroelectric thin films on top of nano-granular Pt(C). Our findings provide a pathway towards optimized nano-granular layer structures suitable for a wide range of dielectric or local potential sensing applications.
