Integration of resonant band with asymmetry in ferroelectric tunnel junctions

چکیده
Abstract We propose that the asymmetry-induced tunneling electroresistance (TER) effect in a ferroelectric tunnel junction (FTJ) could be improved by integrating polarization-controlled resonant band. Using first-principles calculations and quantum-mechanical model, we studied an asymmetric FTJ SrRuO 3 /BaTiO /SrTiO /SrRuO . The band is integrated into this two atomic layers of BaSnO embedded barrier. In elaborated /BaSnO , both asymmetry work together. For one polarization direction, SrTiO dielectric together as barriers to provide considerable efficient barrier height for direct lead large resistance. opposite polarization, layer serves quantum well induce across considerably reduces resistance ON state. integration with may more applicable way further improve functionalities FTJs.
