Negative differential conductance in the electron-transport through copper-rich cuprous oxide thin films

Copper deposition onto Cu _2 O thin films grown on Au(111) results in the formation of monolayer islands with hexagonal and rhombic shapes, as observed with scanning tunnelling microscopy. The differential conductance through the Cu islands is governed by distinct quantum well states (QWS), accompan...
