Abstract

Schottky junctions made from platinum and niobium-doped strontium titanate (SrTiO{sub 3}:Nb) were investigated by hard X-ray photoemission (HXPES) and through a band bending behavior simulation using a phenomenological model, which assumes a decrease in dielectric constant due to an electric field. Thus, we confirmed that the observed HXPES spectra at relatively high temperatures, e.g., >250 K, were well simulated using this phenomenological model. In contrast, it was inferred that the model was not appropriate for junction behavior at lower temperatures, e.g., <150 K. Therefore, a reconstruction of the phenomenological model is necessary to adequately explain the dielectric properties of SrTiO{sub 3}.

Electric Field Penetration in Au/Nb:SrTiO3 Schottky Junctions Probed by Bias-Dependent Internal Photoemission

Journal Article Hikita, Y - Submitted to Applied Physics Letters 98, 192103 (2011)

Electric field penetration into the metallic side of a Schottky junction is in principle a universal phenomenon, the magnitude of which increases with the semiconductor permittivity. Here, we quantitatively probe this effect using bias-dependent internal photoemission spectroscopy at the Schottky junction between a large dielectric permittivity semiconductor SrTiO{sub 3} and gold. A clear linear reduction of the barrier height with increasing interface electric field was observed, highlighting the importance of field penetration into the gold. The interfacial permittivity of SrTiO{sub 3} at the interface is reduced from the bulk value, reflecting intrinsic suppression at the interface.

ELASTIC CONSTANTS OF STRONTIUM TITANATE (SrTiO$sub 3$)

Journal Article Poindexter, E; Giardini, A - Physical Review (U.S.) Superseded in part by Phys. Rev. A, Phys. Rev. B: Solid State, Phys. Rev. C, and Phys. Rev. D

The elastic constants of strontium titanate (SrTiO/sub 3/) were measured by the compound resonator method. Oriented quartz cylinders were used as drivers to excite the sample cylinders. The measured values for the compliance constanis are s/sub 111/ = 3.3 x 10/sup -13/ cm/sup 2/ dyne/sup -1/, s/sub 1122/ = -0.74 x 10/sup -13/ cm/sup 2/ dyne/sup -1/, and 4s/sub 1212/ = 8.4 X 10/sup -13/ cm/sup 2/ . dyne/sup -1/. The elastic behavior of SrTiO/sub 3/ is found not to be entirely analogous to that of BaTiO/sub 3/. (auth)

Cavity resonator for dielectric measurements of high-ε, low loss materials, demonstrated with barium strontium zirconium titanate ceramics

Journal Article Marksteiner, Quinn; Treiman, Michael; Chen, Ching-Fong; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

A resonant cavity method is presented which can measure loss tangents and dielectric constants for materials with dielectric constant from 150 to 10 000 and above. This practical and accurate technique is demonstrated by measuring barium strontium zirconium titanate bulk ferroelectric ceramic blocks. Above the Curie temperature, in the paraelectric state, barium strontium zirconium titanate has a sufficiently low loss that a series of resonant modes are supported in the cavity. At each mode frequency, the dielectric constant and loss tangent are obtained. The results are consistent with low frequency measurements and computer simulations.

High temperature dielectric relaxation anomaly of Y³⁺ and Mn²⁺ doped barium strontium titanate ceramics

Journal Article Yan, Shiguang; Mao, Chaoliang; Wang, Genshui; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Relaxation like dielectric anomaly is observed in Y³⁺ and Mn²⁺ doped barium strontium titanate ceramics when the temperature is over 450 K. Apart from the conventional dielectric relaxation analysis method with Debye or modified Debye equations, which is hard to give exact temperature dependence of the relaxation process, dielectric response in the form of complex impedance, assisted with Cole-Cole impedance model corrected equivalent circuits, is adopted to solve this problem and chase the polarization mechanism in this paper. Through this method, an excellent description to temperature dependence of the dielectric relaxation anomaly and its dominated factors are achieved. Further analysismore »« less

Impact of thermal strain on the dielectric constant of sputtered barium strontium titanate thin films.

Journal Article Taylor, T; Hansen, P; Acikel, B; ... - Appl. Phys. Lett.

Barium strontium titanate thin films were deposited by sputtering on Pt/SiO{sub 2} structures using five different host substrates: magnesium oxide, strontium titanate, sapphire, silicon, and vycor glass. These substrates were chosen to provide a systematic change in thermal strain while maintaining the same film microstructure. All films have a weakly textured microstructure. Temperature dependent dielectric measurements from 100-500 K determined that decreasing thermal expansion coefficient of the host substrate (i.e., larger tensile thermal strain) reduced the film dielectric permittivity. The experimentally determined Curie-Weiss temperature decreased with increasing tensile thermal strain and the Curie-Weiss constant increased with tensile strain as predictedmore » by Pertsev et al.« less
