Measurement of the activation energies of oxygen ion diffusion in yttria stabilized zirconia by flicker noise spectroscopy

Abstract: The low-frequency noise in a nanometer-sized virtual memristor consisting of a contact of a conductive atomic force microscope (CAFM) probe to an yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thin film deposited on a conductive substrate is investigated. YSZ is a promising material for the memristor application since it is featured by high oxygen ion mobility, and the oxygen vacancy concentration in YSZ can be controlled by varying the molar fraction of the stabilizing yttrium oxide. Due to the low diameter of the CAFM pro… Show more

“…It should be noted that the presence of a higher concentration of vacancies near TE and grain boundaries with a reduced energy of oxygen ion migration in the ZrO 2 (Y) film creates the necessary conditions for the growth of conducting filaments along the grain boundaries under the action of electric field and Joule heating, as was previously reported …”

“…In accordance with our experimental data, the dielectric properties of device in the IS state (Figure a) are provided by the ZrO 2 (Y) and Ta 2 O 5 layers. The ZrO 2 (Y) layer contains the initial concentration of oxygen vacancies corresponding to the degree of yttrium doping (about 6% of total number of oxygen sites) and grain boundaries (nominally marked as GB with dashed lines), which are characterized by the oxygen depletion and lower activation energy for the migration of oxygen vacancies . The Ta 2 O 5 film contains an excess of tantalum atoms and inter‐columnar boundaries (despite the amorphous structure).…”

“…Under the electric field, oxygen defects in YSZ promote the conductive oxygen vacancy filaments growth is proven by the tunneling current distribution in the C-AFM image result. [29] To qualitatively analyze the oxygen defects in YSZ samples, selected area (1.5 µm × 1.5 µm) on YSZ samples was scanned by applying 2 V bias to a bottom electrode with 1 µA current limit by subsequent C-AFM probe current mapping. The hypothesis on current spike formation and magnitude of tunneling current at C-AFM probe reveals the formation of conductive filaments, and thereby oxygen defects sites in YSZ samples can be traced.…”

“…[17]) улучшение параметров РП при переключении пилообразным напряжением с наложением ВЧ синусоидального сигнала, наблюдавшееся ранее с использованием АСМ, было связано с резонансной активацией миграции ионов O 2− по вакансиям кислорода в ZrO 2 (Y) под действием переменного внешнего напряжения. С другой стороны, как было установлено в [24,25], энергия активации миграции ионов О 2− по вакансиям кислорода, которая является основным фундаментальным элементарным процессом механизма РП, E a = 0.52−0.68 V (для так называемых активных вакансий, имеющих атом Y в первой координационной сфере [26]). Исходя из указанных значений E a , характерная частота перескоков ионов O 2− на соседние вакансии f i может быть оценена по формуле 10 -2 Наблюдаемое в эксперименте улучшение отношения I ON /I OFF , а также уменьшение V SET и V RESET при наложении ВЧ синусоидального сигнала на треугольные переключающие импульсы может быть связано, как и в [17], с резонансной активацией дрейфа и диффузии ионов O 2− по кислородным вакансиям в ZrO 2 (Y) под действием внешнего переменного электрического поля.…”
