The present paper analyzes the appearance of voltage percolation thresholds in the current -voltage characteristics measured on silicon-based nanocrystalline systems that present random space distribution of the nanocrystallites. This percolation phenomenon is explained on the basis of the probability of tunneling under applied bias and is related to the samples microstructure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
