The space charge limited current and huge linear magnetoresistance in silicon.

ABSTRACT: Huge magnetoresistance in space charge regime attracts broad interest on non-equilibrium carrier transport under high electric field. However, the accurate fitting for the current-voltage curves from Ohmic to space charge regime under magnetic fields has not been achieved quantitatively. We conjecture that the localized intensive charge dynamic should be taken into consideration. Here, by introducing a field-dependent dielectric constant, for the first time, we successfully simulate the current-voltage curves of covalent crystal silicon wafers under different magnetic fields (0-1 Tesla). The simulation reveals that the optical phonon, instead of the acoustic phonon, plays a major role for the carriers transport under magnetic fields in space charge regime.

Influence of diffusion on space-charge-limited current measurements in organic semiconductors.

Project description:Numerical simulations of current-voltage curves in electron-only devices are used to discuss the influence of charged defects on the information derived from fitting space-charge-limited current models to the data. Charged, acceptor-like defects lead to barriers impeding the flow of electrons in electron-only devices and therefore lead to a reduced current that is similar to the situation where the device has a built-in voltage. This reduced current will lead to an underestimation of the mobilities and an overestimation of characteristic tail slopes if analytical equations are used to analyze the data. Correcting for the barrier created by the charged defects can, however, be a successful way to still be able to obtain reasonably accurate mobility values.

Non-uniform space charge limited current injection into a nano contact solid.

Project description:We have developed a two-dimensional (2D) non-uniform model to study the space charge limited (SCL) current injection into a trap-filled solid of nano-contact, such as organic materials and dielectrics. Assuming a solid of length D with a contact of width W, the enhancement over the well-known 1D uniform model is calculated as a function of W/D for different material properties, such as the dielectric constant (ε) and the trap distribution. The non-uniform current density profile due to edge effect is predicted. The findings reported here are different from the prior uniform 2D models, which are significant for small W/D when the size of the contact reaching nanometer scale, i.e. W = 50 nm for D = 1 μm. This model will be useful for the characterization of carrier mobility and properties of traps, which are critical to many novel devices (with small nano-contact) operating in the space charge limited condition reporting in novel device and its applications. Empirical formulas are given for future comparison with experimental results.

Space Charge-Limited Current Transport Mechanism in Crossbar Junction Embedding Molecular Spin Crossovers.

Project description:Spin crossover complexes are among the most studied classes of molecular switches and have attracted considerable attention for their potential technological use as active units in multifunctional devices. A fundamental step toward their practical implementation is the integration in macroscopic devices adopting hybrid vertical architectures. First, the physical properties of technological interest shown by these materials in the bulk phase have to be retained once they are deposited on a solid surface. Herein, we describe the study of a hybrid molecular inorganic junction embedding the spin crossover complex [Fe(qnal)2] (qnal = quinoline-naphthaldehyde) as an active switchable thin film sandwiched within energy-optimized metallic electrodes. In these junctions, developed and characterized with the support of state of the art techniques including synchrotron Mössbauer source (SMS) spectroscopy and focused-ion beam scanning transmission electron microscopy, we observed that the spin state conversion of the Fe(II)-based spin crossover film is associated with a transition from a space charge-limited current (SCLC) transport mechanism with shallow traps to a SCLC mechanism characterized by the presence of an exponential distribution of traps concomitant with the spin transition temperature.

Revealing Charge Carrier Mobility and Defect Densities in Metal Halide Perovskites via Space-Charge-Limited Current Measurements.

Project description:Space-charge-limited current (SCLC) measurements have been widely used to study the charge carrier mobility and trap density in semiconductors. However, their applicability to metal halide perovskites is not straightforward, due to the mixed ionic and electronic nature of these materials. Here, we discuss the pitfalls of SCLC for perovskite semiconductors, and especially the effect of mobile ions. We show, using drift-diffusion (DD) simulations, that the ions strongly affect the measurement and that the usual analysis and interpretation of SCLC need to be refined. We highlight that the trap density and mobility cannot be directly quantified using classical methods. We discuss the advantages of pulsed SCLC for obtaining reliable data with minimal influence of the ionic motion. We then show that fitting the pulsed SCLC with DD modeling is a reliable method for extracting mobility, trap, and ion densities simultaneously. As a proof of concept, we obtain a trap density of 1.3 × 1013 cm-3, an ion density of 1.1 × 1013 cm-3, and a mobility of 13 cm2 V-1 s-1 for a MAPbBr3 single crystal.

Linear magnetoresistance in n-type silicon due to doping density fluctuations.

Project description:We report the observation of a large linear magnetoresistance in the ohmic regime in commonplace commercial n-type silicon wafer with a P dopant density of (1.4±0.1) ×10(15) cm(-3), and report measurements of it in the temperature range 30-200 K. It arises from the deformation of current paths, which causes a part of the Hall field to be detected at the voltage probes. In short, wide samples we found linear magnetoresistance as large as 4707% in an 8 tesla field at 35 K. Sample geometry effects like these are commonplace in commercial Hall sensors. However, we found that the effect persisted in long, thin samples where the macroscopic current flow should be uniform between the voltage probes: we observed a magnetoresistance of 445% under the same conditions as above. We interpret this result as arising due to spatial fluctuations in the donor density, in the spirit of the Herring model.

Huge magnetoresistance in topological insulator spin-valves at room temperature.

Project description:Topological insulators (TI) have extremely high potential in spintronic applications. Here, a topological insulators thin-film (TITF) spin valve with the use of the segment gate-controlled potential exhibits a huge magnetoresistance (MR) value higher than 1000% at room temperature which is more than 50 times the MR of typical topological insulators (TI) spin-valves. A high spin-polarized current is provided by the band structure generated by the tunable segment potential. The results reveal a very large resistance difference between the parallel and antiparallel configurations. The MR effect is strongly influenced by the thin-film thickness, the gate potential, the gate size, and the distribution. The proposed results will help to not only improve the room-temperature performance of the spin-valves but also enhance the applications of magnetic memories and spintronic devices.

Ultimate Charge Transport Regimes in Doping-Controlled Graphene Laminates: Phonon-Assisted Processes Revealed by the Linear Magnetoresistance.

Project description:Understanding and controlling the electrical properties of solution-processed 2D materials is key to further printed electronics progress. Here, we demonstrate that the thermolysis of the aromatic intercalants utilized in nanosheet exfoliation for graphene laminates allows for high intrinsic mobility and the simultaneous control of doping type (n- and p-) and concentration over a wide range. We establish that the intraflake mobility is high by observing a linear magnetoresistance of such solution-processed graphene laminates and using it to devolve the interflake tunneling and intralayer magnetotransport. Consequently, we determine the temperature dependencies of the inter- and intralayer characteristics. The intraflake transport appears to be dominated by electron-phonon scattering processes at temperatures T > 20 K, while the interflake transport is governed by phonon-assisted tunneling. In particular, we identify the efficiency of phonon-assisted tunneling as the main limiting factor for electrical conductivity in graphene laminates at room temperature. We also demonstrate a thermoelectric sensitivity of around 50 μV·K-1 in a solution-processed metal-free graphene-based thermocouple.

Space-charge-limited electron and hole currents in hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites.

Project description:Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites are promising materials for the application in solar cells and light-emitting diodes. However, the basic current-voltage behavior for electrons and holes is still poorly understood in these semiconductors due to their mixed electronic-ionic character. Here, we present the analysis of space-charge-limited electron and hole currents in the archetypical perovskite methyl ammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3). We demonstrate that the frequency dependence of the permittivity plays a crucial role in the analysis of space-charge-limited currents and their dependence on voltage scan rate and temperature. Using a mixed electronic-ionic device model based on experimentally determined parameters, the current-voltage characteristics of single-carrier devices are accurately reproduced. Our results reveal that in our solution processed MAPbI3 thin films transport of electrons dominates over holes. Furthermore, we show that the direction of the hysteresis in the current-voltage characteristics provides a fingerprint for the sign of the dominant moving ionic species.

Voltage-Controlled Magnetoresistance in Silicon Nanowire Transistors.

Project description:Magneto-electronic logic is an innovative approach to performing high-efficiency computations. Additionally, the ultra-large scale integration requirement for computation strongly suggests exploiting magnetoresistance effects in non-magnetic semiconductor materials. Here, we demonstrate the magnetoresistance effect in a silicon nanowire field effect transistor (SNWT) fabricated by complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible technology. Our experimental results show that the sign and the magnitude of the magnetoresistance in SNWTs can be effectively controlled by the drain-source voltage and the gate-source voltage, respectively, playing the role of a multi-terminal tunable magnetoresistance device. Various current models are established and in good agreement with the experimental results that describe the impact of electrical voltage and magnetic field on magnetoresistance, which provides design feasibility for the high-density magneto-electronic circuit. Such findings will further pave the way for nanoscale silicon-based magneto-electronics logic devices and show a possible path beyond the developmental limits of CMOS logic.

Antisymmetric linear magnetoresistance and the planar Hall effect.

Project description:The phenomena of antisymmetric magnetoresistance and the planar Hall effect are deeply entwined with ferromagnetism. The intrinsic magnetization of the ordered state permits these unusual and rarely observed manifestations of Onsager's theorem when time reversal symmetry is broken at zero applied field. Here we study two classes of ferromagnetic materials, rare-earth magnets with high intrinsic coercivity and antiferromagnetic pyrochlores with strongly-pinned ferromagnetic domain walls, which both exhibit antisymmetric magnetoresistive behavior. By mapping out the peculiar angular variation of the antisymmetric galvanomagnetic response with respect to the relative alignments of the magnetization, magnetic field, and electrical current, we experimentally distinguish two distinct underlying microscopic mechanisms: namely, spin-dependent scattering of a Zeeman-shifted Fermi surface and anomalous electron velocities. Our work demonstrates that the anomalous electron velocity physics typically associated with the anomalous Hall effect is prevalent beyond the ρxy(Hz) channel, and should be understood as a part of the general galvanomagnetic behavior.
