Abstract

We investigated the current-voltage (I-V) and photocurrent characteristics of Pt/Nb-doped SrTiO₃ (001) single-crystal junctions that exhibit resistive-switching behaviors. The temperature-dependent I-V data and the photocurrent spectra showed that the barrier height fluctuation depended on the resistance state but the mean barrier height was nearly constant regardless of the junctions' resistance state. In addition, local barrier height variations allowed transitions from thermionic to tunneling transport for the low-resistance state.
