报告内容摘要
     Ferroelectric materials in the nano-scale are interesting not only from an academic point of view, they are also potentially useful in many applications, such as nano-transducers, nano-sensors and tunneling junctions, etc. Recent interest in the concept of ferroelectric tunneling junctions (FTJs) using ferroelectric tunnel barriers begins to expand for reasons of both scientific curiosity and prospects of practical applications. Our recent works found that applying a mechanical load to a ferroelectric tunnel junction may modify its tunnel barrier sufficiently to create changes in its electric resistance by orders of magnitude, a phenomenon they called Giant Piezoelectric-Resistance (GPR). Taking into account polarization charge screening in the electrodes and the near-surface inhomogeneous polarization distribution, the tunneling conductance (TC) of FTJs is modeled and calculated as a function of the applied mechanical load. Results show that the TC of FTJs can be modulated not only via the polarization orientations but also by the applied stress, giving rise to a GER-like effect. Similar to reversing the polarization, reversing a modest applied stress may also change the height of the tunnel barrier sufficiently to produce orders of magnitude change in the electro-resistance. Indeed, the sensitivity of the GPR system on the applied mechanical stress show that the GPR system have sufficient strength to be potentially useful in applications of high-sensitivity electronic and mechanical sensors, memories or other nano-devices.
