摘要
The authors report on the band diagram of epitaxial p-n junctions between the Mott insulator with "p-type carriers" LaMnO3 and the n-type semiconductor Nb-doped SrTiO3 (Nb: STO) using x-ray photoemission spectroscopy. By changing the donor concentration in Nb: STO from 0.1 at.% to 1.0 at. %, the value of the built-in potential for the Nb: STO side (V-bn) is reduced from 0.55 +/- 0.05 eV to 0.25 +/- 0.05 eV. The modulation of Vbn is well described in the framework of the conventional p-n junction model. These results suggest that the characteristics of perovskite oxide p-n junctions can be predicted and designed using the transport properties of the constituent oxides, irrespective of their strongly correlated electronic nature.
