摘要
A bilayer structure of superconducting overdoped La1.8Sr0.2CuO4 and underdoped La1.9Sr0.1CuO4 films was fabricated using pulsed laser deposition and wet chemical etching techniques. The difference in carrier concentrations in the two layers causes rectifying-like behavior when the films are cooled below a critical temperature T-c. This behavior can be interpreted within the framework of quenched superconducting films, with carrier migration occurring between the two layers at very low positive current. These results suggest that electric field-controlled carrier migration between two layers in a bilayer structure can yield new interfacial properties, which would be of interest for device applications.
