摘要:

提出了利用能带工程增强铁电隧道结隧穿电阻的方法。我们预测,具有较小的带隙,嵌入到铁电阻挡层的介电层,作为开关控制高和低电导状态的FTJ取决于极化方向。使用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理建模,我们研究了这种现象的原型SrRuO 3/BaTiO 3/SrRuO 3 FTJ与BaSnO 3单层嵌入在BaTiO 3屏障。我们发现,在这样的复合屏障FTJ,钛酸钡的铁电极化转移的BaSnO 3单层的导带最小值以上或以下的费米能取决于极化方向。由此产生的直接和共振隧穿之间的切换导致一个巨大的开/关电导比TER效应。所提出的FTJ的谐振带工程可以作为一个可行的工具,以提高其性能,器件应用。

英文摘要:

We propose energy band engineering to enhance tunneling electroresistance (TER) in ferroelectric tunnel junctions (FTJs). We predict that an ultrathin dielectric layer with a smaller band gap, embedded into a ferroelectric barrier layer, acts as a switch controlling high and low conductance states of an FTJ depending on polarization orientation. Using first-principles modeling based on density functional theory, we investigate this phenomenon for a prototypical SrRuO3/BaTiO3/SrRuO3 FTJ with a BaSnO3 monolayer embedded in the BaTiO3 barrier. We show that in such a composite-barrier FTJ, ferroelectric polarization of BaTiO3 shifts the conduction band minimum of the BaSnO3 monolayer above or below the Fermi energy depending on polarization orientation. The resulting switching between direct and resonant tunneling leads to a TER effect with a giant ON/OFF conductance ratio. The proposed resonant band engineering of FTJs can serve as a viable tool to enhance their performance useful for device application.
