本研究利用operando X射线纳米成像捕捉V₂O₃莫特材料电阻开关早期阶段,发现由绝缘相纳米级拓扑缺陷触发的新型易失性电子开关,为应变工程操控拓扑缺陷、完全控制莫特开关铺平道路。

摘要:

电阻开关是强电场作用下固态器件电性能发生突变的基础过程。尽管其与信息处理、超快电子学、神经形态器件、电阻存储器和类脑计算密切相关,但驱动金属核从绝缘态形成的局域随机涨落的本质仍未被揭示。本文中,利用operando X射线纳米成像技术,我们捕捉到了工作条件下基于V₂O₃的器件中电阻开关的早期阶段。V₂O₃是一种典型的莫特材料,会发生一级金属-绝缘体转变,该转变伴随晶格变换,会打破菱面体金属相的三重旋转对称性。我们揭示了一类新的易失性电子开关,它由绝缘相晶格序参量的纳米级拓扑缺陷触发。我们的研究结果为利用应变工程方法操控拓扑缺陷、实现对电子莫特开关的完全控制铺平了道路。拓扑驱动的可逆电子转变这一概念对一大类量子材料具有研究价值,包括过渡金属氧化物、硫族化合物和kagome金属,这些材料均表现出与对称性破缺序耦合的一级电子转变。

英文摘要:

Resistive switching is the fundamental process that triggers the sudden change of the electrical properties in solid-state devices under the action of intense electric fields. Despite its relevance for information processing, ultrafast electronics, neuromorphic devices, resistive memories and brain-inspired computation, the nature of the local stochastic fluctuations that drive the formation of metallic nuclei out of the insulating state has remained hidden. Here, using operando X-ray nano-imaging, we have captured the early-stages of resistive switching in a V2O3-based device under working conditions. V2O3 is a paradigmatic Mott material, which undergoes a first-order metal-to-insulator transition coupled to a lattice transformation that breaks the threefold rotational symmetry of the rhombohedral metal phase. We reveal a new class of volatile electronic switching triggered by nanoscale topological defects of the lattice order parameter of the insulating phase. Our results pave the way to the use of strain engineering approaches to manipulate topological defects and achieve the full control of the electronic Mott switching. The concept of topology-driven reversible electronic transition is of interest for a broad class of quantum materials, comprising transition metal oxides, chalcogenides and kagome metals, that exhibit first-order electronic transitions coupled to a symmetry-breaking order.
