Nanometer-scale temperature imaging for independent observation of Joule and Peltier effects in phase change memory devices.
This paper reports a technique for independent observation of nanometer-scale Joule heating and thermoelectric effects, using atomic force microscopy (AFM) based measurements of nanometer-scale temperature fields. When electrical current flows through nanoscale devices and contacts the temperature distribution is governed by both Joule and thermoelectric effects. When the device is driven by an...

متن کاملSimultaneous Thermal Imaging of Peltier and Joule Effects
We present a novel thermoreflectance technique to visualise quasi-static Peltier and Joule thermal distributions simultaneously, enabling side-by-side comparison in situ. The main principle is an extension of so called ’-bucket’ imaging techniques well documented in the literature. The method is particularly advantageous in improving both the reliability and turnaround time for the characteris...
متن کاملDirect observation of nanoscale Peltier and Joule effects at metal-insulator domain walls in vanadium dioxide nanobeams.
The metal to insulator transition (MIT) of strongly correlated materials is subject to strong lattice coupling, which brings about the unique one-dimensional alignment of metal-insulator (M-I) domains along nanowires or nanobeams. Many studies have investigated the effects of stress on the MIT and hence the phase boundary, but few have directly examined the temperature profile across the metal-...
متن کاملCurrent-driven phase oscillation and domain-wall propagation in WxV1-xO2 nanobeams.
We report the observation of a current-driven metal (M)-insulator (I) phase oscillation in two-terminal devices incorporating individual WxV1-xO2 nanobeams connected to parallel shunt capacitors. The frequency of the phase oscillation reaches above 5 MHz for approximately 1 mum long devices. The M-I phase oscillation, which coincides with the charging/discharging of the capacitor, occurs throug...
