摘要
The Schottky-barrier heights for the Ni and ZrO2 interfaces have been determined using the x-ray photoemission method. Depending on the surface treatment of ZrO2, the variation of Schottky-barrier heights at Ni/ZrO2 interfaces was found as large as 0.76 +/- 0.10 eV. The p-type Schottky-barrier height for the oxygen-rich (oxygen-deficient) interface was measured to be 2.60 eV (3.36 eV). First-principles calculations provide a microscopic explanation of such variation, which was attributed to the different interface dipole formed by interfacial Ni-O, Ni-Zr bonds, or oxygen vacancies.
