Abstract

We investigated the effect of a ferroelectric Pb(Zr _0.52Ti _0.48)O ₃ (PZT) thin film on the generation of resistive switching in a stacked Pr _0.7Ca _0.3MnO ₃ (PCMO)/Nb-doped SrTiO ₃ (Nb:STO) heterostructure forming a p-n junction. To promote the ferroelectric effect, the thin PZT active layer was deposited on an epitaxially grown p-type PCMO film on a lattice-matched n-type Nb:STO single crystal. It was concluded that the observed resistive switching behavior in the all-perovskite Pt/PZT/PCMO/Nb:STO heterostructure was related to the modulation of PCMO/Nb:STO p-n junction's depletion width, which was caused either by the PZT ferroelectric polarization field effect, the electrochemical drift of oxygen ions under an electric field, or both simultaneously.
