Abstract

Tunneling electroresistance of Pt/BaTiO₃/SrRuO₃ ferroelectric tunnel junctions is investigated as a function of temperature. Two distinct resistance states that are dependent on polarization direction in the BaTiO₃ barrier layer and bipolar resistance switching are observed at various temperatures from 10 to 290 K. The ON/OFF current ratio of Pt/BaTiO₃/SrRuO₃ tunnel junctions increases monotonically with decreasing temperature above 50 K and saturates below 50 K. The enhanced tunneling electroresistance at low temperatures can be ascribed to the suppression of thermally assisted indirect tunneling, which is less sensitive to the polarization reversal of BaTiO₃ compared to the direct tunneling. © 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.
