Switchable Electric Field Induced Diode Effect in Nanostructured Porous Silicon

Unidirectional current flow (diode-like behavior) is observed in Al/Nanostructured Porous Silicon/Al structures (Al/SP/Al) after applying a forming electric field (E) for a long time. We found that rectifying characteristics depend on the direction of E. The forward direction coincides with the dire...

Sumario:Unidirectional current flow (diode-like behavior) is observed in Al/Nanostructured Porous Silicon/Al structures (Al/SP/Al) after applying a forming electric field (E) for a long time. We found that rectifying characteristics depend on the direction of E. The forward direction coincides with the direction of E. The diode direction switches when E is inverted. The rectification factor passes from 200 to 26 from one direction to the other, the effect is reversible and can be repeated several times.
