Introduction to tunneling electroresistance effect in ferroelectric tunnel junctions
Graduate Student Seminar
12:30 pm
Jorgensen Hall Room: 145
Note that this event is for Graduate Students only! It is not open to general members of the department.
Presenter: Ming Li
Abstract:
Ferroelectricity refers to the spontaneous electric polarization in some materials, which can be reversed by an external electric field. Ferroelectric tunnel junction (FTJ) consists of two metal electrodes separated by a thin ferroelectric layer. The switching of the polarization inside the ferroelectric layer strongly affects the resistance of a FTJ. This is known as tunneling electroresistance (TER) effect. FTJ is promising to be applied in next generation nano-electronics. The study on TER would hopefully inspire more experimental ideas leading to realization of FTJs and corresponding devices.
