چکیده
'More than Moore' captures a concept for overcoming limitations in silicon electronics by incorporating new functionalities in the constituent materials. Perovskite oxides are candidates because of their vast array of physical properties in a common structure. They also enable new electronic devices based on strongly-correlated electrons. The field effect transistor and its derivatives have been the principal oxide devices investigated thus far, but another option is available in a different geometry: if the current is perpendicular to the interface, the strong internal electric fields generated at back-to-back heterojunctions can be used for oxide electronics, analogous to bipolar transistors. Here we demonstrate a perovskite heteroepitaxial metal-base transistor operating at room temperature, enabled by interface dipole engineering. Analysis of many devices quantifies the evolution from hot-electron to permeable-base behaviour. This device provides a platform for incorporating the exotic ground states of perovskite oxides, as well as novel electronic phases at their interfaces.

CATALYTIC HYDROGEN PEROXIDE DECOMPOSITION ON Lal-,Sr,Co03-6 PEROVSKITE OXIDE
Lanthanide perovskite oxides are mentioned as material for hydrogen peroxide sensor because they can catalytically decompose hydrogen peroxide in an aqueous medium. The catalytic properties of these perovskite oxides to hydrogen peroxide are suggested due to their oxygen vacancies influenced by the oxide non-stoichiometry. In this paper, we investigate the catalytic hydrogen peroxide decomposit...

We report a combined high-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy, ion scattering spectroscopy, and photoelectron spectroscopy study of bare lanthanum aluminate LaAlO3 LAO and of the initial stages of anatase TiO2 growth on LAO 001 . LAO 001 exhibits mixed La–O and Al–O2 surface terminations at 400 °C. Heteroepitaxial TiO2, grown by evaporating Ti metal in O2, nucleates near step edges, growi...
متن کاملGeneral considerations of the electrostatic boundary conditions in oxide heterostructures
When the size of materials is comparable to the characteristic length scale of their physical properties, novel functionalities can emerge. For semiconductors, this is exemplified by the “superlattice” concept of Esaki and Tsu, where the width of the repeated stacking of different semiconductors is comparable to the “size” of the electrons, resulting in novel confined states now routinely used ...

Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 (PZN) is a well known relaxor ferroelectric with excellent dielectric properties for capacitor applications and electromechanical properties for sensor and actuator applications. The perovskite structure stabilization of PZN based ceramics and their respective thin films has limited their applications in these devices. The crystallization behavior and the development of the per...
