In this paper, the fabrication and electrical characterization of epitaxial metal-semiconductor junctions between Y1Ba2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) (optimally doped and Zn doped) and (001) Nb:SrTiO3 with different Nb concentrations (0.05, 0.1, and 0.5%).
Abstract
We report on the fabrication and electrical characterization of epitaxial metal-semiconductor junctions between Y1Ba2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) (optimally doped and Zn doped) and (001) Nb:SrTiO3 with different Nb concentrations (0.05%, 0.1%, and 0.5%). The current-voltage characteristics of such epitaxial junctions are nonlinear and rectifying, and these are dramatically enhanced with decreasing Nb concentration and Zn doping. Indeed, for the case of 0.05% Nb:STO, reverse breakdown voltage as high as −18V(−28V) is realized for optimally doped (Zn doped) YBCO. These data are analyzed within the framework of thermionic emission∕diffusion models for Schottky and metal-insulator-semiconductor-type junctions.

Assessing the photocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction of BiFeO3 loaded with IrO2 nanoparticles as cocatalyst

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that the poor O2 evolution activity of photocatalytic water splitting of the multiferroics BiFeO3 can be enhanced when a proper cocatalyst like IrO2 nanoparticles are deposited on the surface and proper electron scavenger is used.

A high-mobility electron gas at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterointerface

TL;DR: A model interface is examined between two insulating perovskite oxides—LaAlO3 and SrTiO3—in which the termination layer at the interface is controlled on an atomic scale, presenting a broad opportunity to tailor low-dimensional charge states by atomically engineered oxide heteroepitaxy.

Artificial charge-modulationin atomic-scale perovskite titanate superlattices

TL;DR: It is found that a minimum thickness of five LaTiO3 layers is required for the centre titanium site to recover bulk-like electronic properties, and this represents a framework within which the short-length-scale electronic response can be probed and incorporated in thin-film oxide heterostructures.
