Abstract:The work function is a critical parameter for device design and understanding of materials properties, but contemporary experimental literature on tailored work functions is rather scarce. This paper presents a promising new approach to work function design that uses pulsed laser deposition (PLD) growth with unit cell precision. It is shown that a monolayer buried within a material can influence the work function as a function of the layer depth. This method can preserve properties of the original material's s… Show more
