Description

Opportunity of growing a lanthanum oxide (La2O3) on the surface of lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) with (100)- and (100/110)- orientation by thermal annealing process to produce a metal-oxide-metal structure has been studied. Electron microscopic images, X-ray and optical spectra revealed La2O3 layer of cubic symmetry. The features of the current-voltage and capacitance-voltage characteristics of the Al/La2O3 /(100)LaB6 and Al/La2O3/(100/110)LaB6 structures were analyzed. The electrical conductance mechanism is explained on the basis of space charge limited current
