摘要
Constant-potential electrochemical synthesis of ZnO on metal substrates enables selective formation of either Ohmic or Schottky-barrier contacts. Using a mildly acidic nitrate-based aqueous electrolyte, there is a substrate-dependent deposition potential below which electrodeposited ZnO heterojunctions display Schottky response with high contact resistances (similar to 10(5) Omega) and above which Ohmic behavior and low contact resistances (similar to 1 Omega) occur. Voltammetric evidence for Zn metal deposition, in conjunction with Schottky-barrier heights that are consistent with values expected for a ZnO-Zn junction, suggests that more negative deposition potentials create a Zn-based interface between the substrate and ZnO that leads to rectifying behavior.
