Abstract:
The strongly correlated La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (LSMO) thin films were deposited on the BaTiO3 (BTO) substrates to study the influence of temperature-dependent phase transition of BTO on the magnetic and electric transport properties of the LSMO films. Because of the large lattice mismatch between the LSMO and BTO substrates, the ultrathin LSMO film exhibits semiconducting transport behavior rather than the normal metal-insulator transition behavior. A Mn2+-O2--Mn3+ dominated double exchange interaction, which leads to a semiconducting to metallic transition behavior, was formed by the joint effect of the ion-liquid gating and phase transition of the BTO substrates. Our work shows a special way to modulate the conduction mechanism, which opens up a new field for further study of the magnetoelectric coupling of the LSMO/BTO heterostructures.

Schottky Barriers
Schottky barriers arise when a metal with a work function (Φm) contacts a semiconductor with a different work function (Φs). Initially, electrons transfer until the Fermi levels of the metal and semiconductor align at equilibrium. For instance, if Φm > Φs, the semiconductor Fermi level is higher than the metal's before contact. The...
Biasing of Metal-Semiconductor Junctions
In Schottky junctions, where the semiconductor is n-type, applying a positive voltage to the metal relative to the semiconductor reduces its Fermi...
Semiconductors
Metals such as copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), or lead (Pb) have low resistivity and feature conduction bands that are either not fully occupied or overlap with the valence band, making a bandgap non-existent. This allows electrons in the highest energy levels of the valence band to easily transition to the conduction band upon gaining...
