Abstract

With interface sizes rapidly reducing to the nanometer scale, it has become vital to understand how size and structure can affect transport behavior between materials in order to tune the energy barrier for various applications. Here, the fabrication of Schottky Barriers between Au nanoparticles and doped SrTiO3 materials is reported. The effect of nanoparticle size on the transport properties is clearly evident providing an excellent opportunity to compare new theory on transport characteristics at the nanoscale to classical theory to determine the method that is most effective in predicting nanoscale transport properties.
