采用脉冲激光沉积法在(100)0.7wt%Nb:SrTi03(NSTO)衬底上制备了La0.8Sr0.2Mn03(LSMO)/NSTO(100)异质结,仔细研究了原位沉积氧压和真空退火对LSMO/NSTO异质结的结构及其整流伏安特性的调控.X-射线线性扫描和原子力显微镜测量显示,低氧压制备的LSMO/NST0(100)异质结具有良好的外延结构和平整的表面.电流-电压(I-V)盐线显示,沉积氧压为100mTorr的异质p~n结展现出极好的整流伏安特性;而氧压为240mTorr的异质p~n结平缓增加的电流可解释为异质P~n结在界面处晶格缺陷的增加.作为对比,沉积氧压调控的LSMO/SrTiO3(100)薄膜的输运性也被研究.电阻率结果显示,低氧压制备的LSMO薄膜,其电阻率的增加及金属-半导体转变温度L的降低归因于氧空位增加诱导的Mn4+离子减少及MnO6八面体的畸变.
Heteroepitaxial junction composed of the La0. 8Sr0. 2 MnO3 (LSMO) and the (100) 0. 7wt Nb: SrTiOa (NSTO) has been fabricated by pulsed-laser deposition. The effect of the in-situ deposition oxygen pressures and the annealed in vacuum on the structure and the rectifying current-voltage behaviors in LSMO/NSTO(100) heterojunctions were carefully studied. X-ray linear scans and atomic force microscope (AFM) patterns indicate that the LSMO/NSTO(100) heterojunctions grown at lower oxygen pressures have a better epitaxial quality and the smooth surface. The result of current-voltage (I-V) curves shows that the p-n junction grown at oxygen pressure of 100 mTorr exhibits an excellent rectifying behavior, but the p-n junction grown at a pressure of 240 mTorr displays a flat the I-V curves, which is ascribed to the increase of the lattice defects in pun junction interface. As a contrast,the transport properties of epitaxial LSMO/SrTiO3 (100) films were also studied by the modulating deposition oxygen pressures. The resistivity measurements shown that the increase of overall resistivity and the low of metal-insulator transition temperatures Tp in the LSMO films grown at lower oxygen pressures can be aseribed to the oxygen vaeancy inducing the decrease of Mn4+ ions as well as the distortion of MnO6 octahedron
