Coulomb barrier creation by means of electronic field emission in nanolayer capacitors
Abstract
Electrons tunnel from the cathode into the dielectric, get trapped on defects and build up a volume charge. These immobilized electrons generate an addition barrier, the Coulomb barrier, which reduces the leakage current of the nanocapacitor.
