Planar tunneling spectroscopy on van der Waals superconductors with AlO_x junction grown by atomic layer deposition

Journal Article Ji, Yu ; Wang, Hao ; Dong, Zehao ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Here, we demonstrate a method for fabricating a high-quality AlO_x-based planar tunnel junction using atomic layer deposition, integrated with the exfoliation and transfer techniques for van der Waals (vdW) materials. The tunneling spectroscopy results on exfoliated Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O_8+δ and 2H-NbSe₂ vdW superconductors are highly consistent with that obtained by ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling spectroscopy on atomically clean surfaces. The planar tunneling devices enable high-precision spectroscopy over a wide range of temperatures and magnetic fields and reveal novel features and stark contrast between high-T_C cuprates and conventional superconductors. This method represents a universally applicable technique for probing the electronic structure of variousmore » two-dimensional vdW materials.« less

Electric transport across Sr{sub 1-x}La{sub x}CuO{sub 2}/Au/Nb planar tunnel junctions and x-ray photoelectron and Auger-electron spectroscopy on Sr{sub 1-x}La{sub x}CuO{sub 2} thin films

Journal Article Tomaschko, J ; Kleiner, R ; Koelle, D ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Thin-film planar tunnel junctions with the electron-doped infinite-layer superconductor Sr{sub 1-x}La{sub x}CuO{sub 2} (SLCO) with x{approx}0.15 as bottom electrode, a thin Au interlayer, and Nb as top electrode were fabricated and characterized. Measurements of electric transport across these junctions provide information on the interface and surface properties of the SLCO thin films. No Cooper pair tunneling is observed; however, nonlinear current-voltage characteristics give evidence for quasiparticle (QP) tunneling across a thin insulating SLCO barrier at the SLCO/Au interface, with a single gap value {approx}1.4 meV, originating from superconducting Nb. The absence of a superconducting SLCO gap in the QP conductancemore »« less

Integrating atomic layer deposition and ultra-high vacuum physical vapor deposition for in situ fabrication of tunnel junctions

Journal Article Elliot, Alan J., E-mail: alane@ku.edu, E-mail: jwu@ku.edu ; Malek, Gary A. ; Lu, Rongtao ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) is a promising technique for growing ultrathin, pristine dielectrics on metal substrates, which is essential to many electronic devices. Tunnel junctions are an excellent example which require a leak-free, ultrathin dielectric tunnel barrier of typical thickness around 1 nm between two metal electrodes. A challenge in the development of ultrathin dielectric tunnel barriers using ALD is controlling the nucleation of dielectrics on metals with minimal formation of native oxides at the metal surface for high-quality interfaces between the tunnel barrier and metal electrodes. This poses a critical need for integrating ALD with ultra-high vacuum (UHV) physicalmore »« less

UV light induced insulator-metal transition in ultra-thin ZnO/TiO{sub x} stacked layer grown by atomic layer deposition

Journal Article Saha, D., E-mail: sahaphys@gmail.com, E-mail: pmisra@rrcat.gov.in ; Misra, P., E-mail: sahaphys@gmail.com, E-mail: pmisra@rrcat.gov.in ; Joshi, M. P. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

In the present study, atomic layer deposition has been used to grow a series of Ti incorporated ZnO thin films by vertically stacking different numbers (n = 1–7) of ZnO/TiO{sub x} layers on (0001) sapphire substrates. The effects of defect states mediated chemisorption of O{sub 2} and/OH groups on the electrical properties of these films have been investigated by illuminating the samples under UV light inside a high vacuum optical cryostat. The ultra-thin film having one stacked layer (n = 1) did not show any change in its electrical resistance upon UV light exposure. On the contrary, marginal drop in the electrical resistivity wasmore »« less
