Origin of Leakage Current of YMnO3 Thin Films Prepared by the Sol-Gel Method
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
The preparation conditions of YMnO3 thin films by the sol-gel method using yttrium alkoxide were optimized to decrease the leakage current of the films. The leakage current of the films was decreased due to the dense microstructure of the films. Moreover, the heat treatment in hydrogen atmosphere and the zirconium doping resulted in a further decrease of the leakage current. The heat treatment in hydrogen atmosphere and the zirconium doping were effective in the decrease of carriers originating in the valence fluctuation of the Mn ions in YMnO3
