摘要
High temperature current-voltage characteristics were investigated with a Nb doped SrTiO3 (NbSTO) single crystal. The conductivity of the 0.5 wt% Nb doped SrTiO3 showed high n-type conductivity with a negative temperature coefficient. The Pt/Nb-STO interface freshly, prepared by laser ablation at 973 K in high vacuum condition showed ohmic behavior. However, it turned to show a Schottky type non linearity when annealed in oxygen gas at temperatures higher than 773 K The I-V curve in the forward direction was well,fitted with the equation based on the thermionic emission model. At high temperatures, the I-V behavior was dependent on the oxygen partial pressure. The lower oxygen partial pressure resulted in a lower barrier height. The change in the I-V curve with oxygen potential was almost reversible at 873 K, and was frozen below 673 K. Those phenomena suggested that the Schottky barrier formation at the Pt/STO interface has a strong relation with the oxygen transport in Nb-STO. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Limited.
