The electronic transport properties of defected bilayer sliding armchair graphene nanoribbons

By applying non-equilibrium Green's functions (NEGF) in combination with tight-binding (TB) model, we investigate and compare the electronic transport properties of perfect and defected bilayer armchair graphene nanoribbons (BAGNRs) under finite bias. Two typical defects which are placed in the middle of top layer (i.e. single vacancy (SV) and stone wale (SW) defects) are examined. The results reveal that in both perfect and defected bilayers, the maximum current refers to β-AB, AA and α-AB stacking orders, respectively, since the intermolecular interactions are stronger in them. Moreover it is observed that a SV decreases the current in all stacking orders, but the effects of a SW defect is nearly unpredictable. Besides, we introduced a sequential switching behavior and the effects of defects on the switching performance is studied as well. We found that a SW defect can significantly improve the switching behavior of a bilayer system. Transmission spectrum, band structure, molecular energy spectrum and molecular projected self-consistent Hamiltonian (MPSH) are analyzed subsequently to understand the electronic transport properties of these bilayer devices which can be used in developing nano-scale bilayer systems.

Electrical property effect of oxygen vacancies in the heterojunction of LaGaO_3/SrTiO_3

Density functional theory within the local density approximation is used to investigate the effect of the oxygen vacancy on the LaGaO_3/SrTiO_3(001) heterojunction. It is found that the energy favorable configuration is the oxygen vacancy located at the 3~(rd) layer of the STO substrate, and the antiferrodistortive distortion is induced by the oxygen vacancy introduced on the SrTiO_3 side. Compared with the heterojunction without introducing oxygen vacancy, the heterojunction with introducing the oxygen vacancy does not change the origin of the two-dimensional electron gas(2DEG), that is, the 2DEG still originates from the d_(xy) electrons, which are split from the t~(2g) states of Ti atom at interface; however the oxygen vacancy is not beneficial to the confinement of the 2DEG. The extra electrons caused by the oxygen vacancy dominantly occupy the 3d_(x~2-y~2) orbitals of the Ti atom nearest to the oxygen vacancy, thus the density of carrier is enhanced by one order of magnitude due to the introduction of oxygen vacancy compared with the density of the ideal structure heterojunction.

氧缺陷TiO2-B作为可充电锂离子电池负极材料的第一性原理研究

利用对氧缺陷的TiO₂-B材料进行密度泛函理论的计算,阐述了氧空穴对于TiO₂-B材料的电化学性质的影响。计算研究主要聚焦于缺陷材料的锂离子迁移和电子导电性等基本问题。计算结果表明在低锂离子浓度下(x(Li/Ti)≤ 0.25),相比于无缺陷的TiO₂-B,氧缺陷TiO₂-B有着更高的插入电压和更低的b轴方向迁移活化能,意味着锂离子的嵌入也更容易,这对于可充电电池的充电过程是有利的。而在高浓度下(x(Li/Ti) = 1),锂饱和的氧缺陷TiO₂-B相较于无缺陷的TiO₂-B有着较低的插入电压,更有利于锂离子的脱嵌过程,这对于可充电电池的放电过程也是有利的。电子结构计算表明缺陷材料的禁带宽度在1.0-2.0 eV之间,低于无缺陷的材料的3.0 eV。主要态密度贡献者是Ti-Ov-3d,并且随着氧空穴的增加它的强度也变得更强。这就表明氧缺陷TiO₂-B有更好的电子导电性。     

Coexistence of unipolar and bipolar modes in Ag/ZnO/Pt resistive switching memory with oxygen-vacancy and metal-Ag filaments

In this study, the unipolar resistive switching(URS) and bipolar resistive switching(BRS) are demonstrated to be coexistent in the Ag/Zn O/Pt memory device, and both modes are observed to strongly depend on the polarity of forming voltage. The mechanisms of the URS and BRS behaviors could be attributed to the electric-field-induced migration of oxygen vacancies(VO) and metal-Ag conducting filaments(CFs) respectively, which are confirmed by investigating the temperature dependences of low resistance states in both modes. Furthermore, we compare the resistive switching(RS)characteristics(e.g., forming and switching voltages, reset current and resistance states) between these two modes based on VO- and Ag-CFs. The BRS mode shows better switching uniformity and lower power than the URS mode. Both of these modes exhibit good RS performances, including good retention, reliable cycling and high-speed switching. The result indicates that the coexistence of URS and BRS behaviors in a single device has great potential applications in future nonvolatile multi-level memory.
