Photo- and Electron-Beam-Induced Currents from Epitaxial YBa2Cu3OyMetal-Insulator-Superconductor (MIS) Structure in the Normal State

ABSTRACTSPM/SEM-hybridsystems are more than only a combination of complementary microscopy techniques, because the used probes can simultaneously either be used as sensors, which give access to a vast variety of material properties, or as actuators, which can deliberately modify samples properties. The wide application field as well as flexibility is demonstrated exemplarily on techniques in microanalyses like nano-probing, cathodoluminescence, electron beam induced currents, and thermal analyses. These results provide an interesting perspective with respect to failure analyses and reliability of modern materials and devices.

First Order Phase

Measurements of electron beam excited TSEE from the high T c superconductor GdBa 2 Cu 3 O 7−x were performed in the temperature range from 80 to 350 K. To prove that the emission peaks originate from the sample, the sample was covered with a film of KC1. Exoemission peaks at 160 K and 240 K most probably ascribed to the sample. They might be connected with the first-order phase transition discovered recently in this temperature region by another method. If we assume the existence of localized electrons at oxygen vacancies and a simple mechanism for their delocalization, we can calculate an activation energy.
