Integration of resonant band with asymmetry in ferroelectric tunnel junctions

Abstract We propose that the asymmetry-induced tunneling electroresistance (TER) effect in a ferroelectric tunnel junction (FTJ) could be improved by integrating a polarization-controlled resonant band. Using first-principles calculations and a quantum-mechanical tunneling model, we studied an asymm...
