The present status of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on different surfaces (2D systems) as well as monolayer formation on metallic and semiconducting cluster surfaces (3D SAM) to form monolayer-protected nanoclusters (MPCs) and their assemblies is reviewed briefly. Attention is focused mainly on the potential electronic and photonic applications of SAMs, MPCs and their 2D and 3D structures fabricated using covalent and hydrophobic interactions in contrast to the usual electrostatic assemblies. These examples illustrate the rational use of organic molecules and nanoclusters using the concept of self-assembly, where subtle systems of double tunnel junctions, hetero junctions and single-electron transition devices could be developed based on the structure and chemistry of multifunctional molecules. The tailoring of cluster size and cluster–cluster spacing to reveal interesting transitions in electronic properties is also demonstrated using the low temperature behavior of the 3D network of nanoclusters as an example. These devices are believed to play an important role in the coming years as the chip functions and clock frequencies reach orders of magnitude beyond those extrapolated from Moore’s law.  相似文献

A two-dimensional voltage image of the energy gap distribution of a superconducting tunnel junction was obtained by scanning the current biased junction with an electron beam and detecting the voltage change δV. The value of the energy gap at the point of irradiation was determined quantitatively from the δV σ(V) curves, where σ(V) is the electric conductance of the junction. Further the quasiparticle diffusion length was found by measuring the length of the transition between a high- and low-gap region generated by a double tunnel junction configuration. The theoretical predictions could be verified by investigating a double tunnel junction configuration, where the energy gap could be changed deliberately by quasiparticle injection.  相似文献

An FS/FE/NS/FE/FS double tunnel junction is suggested to have the ability to inject, modulate and detect the spin-polarized current electrically in a single device, where FS is the ferromagnetic semiconductor electrode, NS is the nonmagnetic semiconductor, and FE the ferroelectric barrier. The spin polarization of the current injected into the NS region can be switched between a highly spin-polarized state and a spin unpolarized state. The high spin polarization may be detected by measuring the tunneling magnetoresistance ratio of the double tunnel junction.  相似文献

This paper reports that a double N layer (a-Si:H/μc-Si:H) is used to substitute the single microcrystalline silicon n layer (n-μc-Si:H) in n/p tunnel recombination junction between subcells in a-Si:H/μc-Si:H tandem solar cells. The electrical transport and optical properties of these tunnel recombination junctions are investigated by current-voltage measurement and transmission measurement. The new n/p tunnel recombination junction shows a better ohmic contact. In addition, the n/p interface is exposed to the air to examine the effect of oxidation on the tunnel recombination junction performance. The open circuit voltage and FF of a-Si:H/μc-Si:H tandem solar cell are all improved and the current leakage of the subcells can be effectively prevented efficiently when the new n/p junction is implemented as tunnel recombination junction.  相似文献

Tunnel junction based molecular devices, which utilize the two metal electrodes of a metal–insulator–metal tunnel junction as the two electrical leads to connect with molecular channels, can overcome the long standing fabrication challenges for developing futuristic molecular devices. However, producing an ultrathin insulator is the most challenging step in this tunnel junction based molecular device fabrication. A simplified molecular device approach was developed by avoiding the need of depositing a new material on the bottom electrode for growing ultrathin insulator. This paper discusses the new approach for insulator growth by one-step oxidation of a tantalum (Ta) bottom electrode, in the pholithographically defined region, i.e., ultrathin tantalum oxide (TaO x ) insulator was grown by oxidizing bottom Ta metal electrode itself. Organometallic molecular clusters (OMCs) were bridged across 1–3 nm TaO x along the perimeter of a tunnel junction to establish the highly efficient molecular conduction channels. OMC transformed the asymmetric transport profile of TaO x based tunnel junction into symmetric one. A TaO x based tunnel junction with the top ferromagnetic (NiFe) electrode exhibited the transient current suppression by several orders. Further studies by independent research groups will be needed to strengthen the current suppression phenomenon, and to realize the full potential of TaO x based molecular devices.  相似文献

In this work, we study the role of the double rotation mechanism in the concerted diffusion of two-dimensional small Cu clusters (up to 10 atoms) over Cu{1 1 1} surfaces. Our results show that the necessary energy to diffuse the cluster on any direction over the surface (overall activation energy) increases proportionally to the cluster size. However, the minimum energy necessary to just move the cluster center of mass presents a nonmonotonic increase. The reason for this behavior relies on the double rotation mechanism, which is observed in some clusters with diamond shape configuration. Consequently, clusters as big as hexamers can be expected to be surprisingly mobile with activation energies around 0.15 eV.  相似文献

We report magnetoresistance for silicon based magnetic tunnel junction. We used cobalt ferrite & cobalt nickel ferrite as free layer and pinned layer. The magnetoresistance measured at room temperature through silicon by fabricating FM/Si/FM magnetic tunnel junction. Magnetoresistance shows a loop type behavior with 3.7%. We have successfully demonstrated spin tunneling through silicon with ferrite junction that opens the door for potential candidate for spintronics devices. The spin-filtering effect for this double spin-filter junction is also discussed.  相似文献

We analyze scanning electron microscopy measurements for structures formed in the deposition of solid silver clusters onto a silicon(100) substrate and consider theoretical models of cluster evolution onto a surface as a result of diffusion and formation of aggregates of merged clusters. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) data are presented in addition to energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX) measurements of the these films. Solid silver clusters are produced by a DC magnetron sputtering source with a quadrupole filter for selection of cluster sizes (4.1 and 5.6 nm or 1900 and 5000 atoms per cluster in this experiment); the energy of cluster deposition is 0.7 eV/atom. Rapid thermal annealing of the grown films allows analysis of their behavior at high temperatures. The results exhibit formation of cluster aggregates via the diffusion of deposited solid clusters along the surface; an aggregate consists of up to hundreds of individual clusters. This process is essentially described by the diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) model, and thus a grown porous film consists of cluster aggregates joined by bridges. Subsequent annealing of this film leads to its melting at temperatures lower than to the melting point of bulk silver. Analysis of evaporation of this film at higher temperatures gives a binding energy in bulk silver of ɛ0= (2.74 ± 0.03) eV/atom. The text was submitted by the authors in English.  相似文献

The mobility of clusters on a semiconductor surface for various values of cluster size is studied as a function of temperature by kinetic Monte Carlo method. The cluster resides on the surface of a square grid. Kinetic processes such as the diffusion of single particles on the surface, their attachment and detachment to/from clusters, diffusion of particles along cluster edges are considered. The clusters considered in this study consist of 150–6000 atoms per cluster on average.A statistical probability of motion to each direction is assigned to each particle where a particle with four nearest neighbors is assumed to be immobile. The mobility of a cluster is found from the root mean square displacement of the center of mass of the cluster as a function of time. It is found that the diffusion coefficient of clusters goes as D = A(T)Nαwhere N is the average number of particles in the cluster, A(T) is a temperature-dependent constant and α is a parameter with a value of about-0.64 α -0.75. The value of α is found to be independent of cluster sizes and temperature values(170–220 K)considered in this study. As the diffusion along the perimeter of the cluster becomes prohibitive, the exponent approaches a value of-0.5. The diffusion coefficient is found to change by one order of magnitude as a function of cluster size.  相似文献

The effects of single-electron tunnel charging and Coulomb blockade in a cluster structure (molecular transistor) are studied theoretically with allowance for the quantization of the electronic levels in an island electrode. The electronic spectrum is calculated for small spherical and disk-shaped clusters. Under the assumption that the total energy of the system is conserved with inclusion of the contact potential difference, equations are derived for analyzing the current-voltage characteristic. Limitations associated with the Coulomb instability of a cluster and with electron relaxation are introduced into the theory. For single-electron transistors with small gold clusters, the current gap and the asymmetry in its position on the voltage axis are calculated. The current gap is shown to vary nonmonotonically with the cluster size.  相似文献

The effect of spin relaxation on tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) in a ferromagnet/superconductor/ferromagnet (FM/SC/FM) double tunnel junction is theoretically studied. The spin accumulation in SC is determined by balancing of the spin-injection rate and the spin-relaxation rate. In the superconducting state, the spin-relaxation time τs becomes longer with decreasing temperature, resulting in a rapid increase of TMR. The TMR of FM/SC/FM junctions provides a useful probe to extract information about spin-relaxation in superconductors.  相似文献

We report on the design, fabrication, and characterization of InP-based 1.55 μm wavelength large diameter (50 μm) electrically pumped vertical external cavity surface emitting lasers (EP-VECSELs). The hybrid device consists of a half vertical cavity surface emitting laser (1/2-VCSEL) structure assembled with a concave dielectric external mirror. The 1/2-VCSEL is monolithically grown on InP substrate and includes a semiconductor Bragg mirror and a tunnel junction for electrical injection. Buried (BTJ) and ion implanted (ITJ) tunnel junction electrical confinement schemes are compared in terms of their thermal and electrical characteristics. Lower thermal resistance values are measured for BJT, but reduced current crowding effects and uniform current injection are evidenced for ITJ. Using the ITJ technique, we demonstrate Room-Temperature (RT) continuous-wave (CW) single transverse mode laser operation from 50-μm diameter EP-VECSEL devices. We show that the experimental laser optical output versus injected current (LI) curves are well-reproduced by a simple analytical thermal model, consistent with the thermal resistance measurements performed on the 1/2-VCSEL structure. Our results indicate that thermal heating is the main mechanism limiting the maximum CW output power of 50-μm diameter VECSELs, rather than current injection inhomogeneity.  相似文献

Two-dimensional Ir cluster lattice on a graphene moiré on Ir(111)   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Lattices of Ir clusters have been grown by vapor phase deposition on graphene moirés on Ir(111). The clusters are highly ordered, and spatially and thermally stable below 500 K. Their narrow size distribution is tunable from 4 to about 130 atoms. A model for cluster binding to the graphene is presented based on scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory. The proposed binding mechanism suggests that similar cluster lattices might be grown of materials other than Ir.  相似文献

Sulfur adsorption on Ni(1 1 1) at room temperature has been studied by scanning tunneling microscopy. Irregularly-shaped islands, which are aggregates of small particles, appear with troughs on (1 1 1) terraces. Estimating the number of small particles in the irregular islands and that of Ni atoms ejected through the formation of troughs, we find that each small particle contains three Ni atoms. A three-Ni-atom cluster is proposed, where three S atoms are adsorbed on 4-fold hollow sites formed on the sides of the cluster. The Ni3S3 cluster can assume two orientations on the (1 1 1) surface. We show that the apparently-irregular distribution of small particles is well understood by assuming the alternate orientation of neighboring Ni3S3 clusters and the slight energy difference between the two orientations of a single Ni3S3 cluster. Real-time observation of a Ni(1 1 1) surface under H2S ambience reveals that small islands composed of three or four Ni3S3 clusters change their positions rapidly, preventing the simple growth of islands at the initially-nucleated positions.  相似文献
