Abstract
Electrical transport properties of heteroepitaxial p-n junctions made of La_(0.8)Sr_(0.2)CoO_(3) and SrTi_(0.99)Nb_(0.01)O_(3) were studied. Junctions display highly rectifying current-voltage characteristics over a wide temperature range (20–300 K). Two distinct transport mechanisms are identified: tunneling assisted by interface states at T<130 K and diffusion/recombination at higher temperatures. Capacitance-voltage characteristics are used to determine the junction built-in potential at different frequencies. A capacitance relaxation is found due to charge trapping at interface states. Interface states, which deeply affect transport, are discussed in connection to charge-transfer processes related to the polarity mismatch at the interface.
