Abstract:
In present work, the electron properties of YSZ nanostructured films using combined Atomic Force Microscopy / Òunnel Spectroscopy (AFMTS) have been investigated.It was demonstrated, the implantation of the films ZrO2(Y) by zirconium ions reduced forming channels tunnel current with lateral sizes from ~1-10 nm. It was founded, that I-V curves have staircase structures that is typical for coulomb blockade and oscillations that is typical of resonance tunneling through discrete electronic states in nano-size clasters. The form evolution of the separate current channel at increasing a bias voltage on the tunnel contact (probe-dielectric-substrate) has been investigated. It was shown that at low bias voltage the fine structure the channel arose.
