Hot-electron devices and physics based on oxide heterostructures
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Today, we live in the age of nanomaterials with discovery of novel properties at nanometer length scales. In this thesis, we focus on perovskite oxides at such length scales in the form of thin films and heterostructures, which represent rapidly emerging class of nanomaterials significant for a rich variety of emergent phenomena. Until now, research has mostly focused on using easily accessible in-plane experimental probes to study these systems. The goal of this thesis is to expand upon this approach by establishing a solid vertical device platform and to probe the dynamics of the strongly correlated electron systems therein. As part of this goal, we focus on the fabrication of vertical hot-electron transistors based on oxide heterostructures down to the two-dimensional limit with atomic-scale precision and then the study of non-equilibrium dynamics of hot electrons across phase transitions using these device platforms. Further, we probe the spectroscopic evolution of hot-electron dynamics in oxide heterostructures using internal photoemission spectroscopy. These studies open up new avenues for probing and utilizing emergent phenomena at oxide interfaces and heterostructures using vertical device geometry.
