Charge transport mechanism in metal-Gd2O3-metal systems in the temperature range 290–380 K.
Al, Cu, Cr and Au metal electrodes were fabricated on 80 nm Gd2O3 thin film by E.B evaporation.
Mott VRH is responsible for conduction behavior in all systems for entire temperature range.
A strong correlation between transport properties and metal work function has been observed.
蟽 decreased from 2.9 × 10−5 to 1.8 × 10−11 S/cm as the metal 蠁 increased from 4 to 5.1 eV for Al to Au.
