Abstract
In this work, p-n junctions are made from directly depositing optimal doped La1.85Sr0.15CuO4 (LSCO) films on n-type Nb-doped SrTiO3 substrates. Film thickness controlled rectifying behaviors are strikingly displayed. The starting points of the diffusion voltage reduction Vd–on change clearly with varying film thickness. Vd–on and TC coincide with each other when the film thickness is larger than 300 nm, indicating a close relation between the two parameters. However, when the film is very thin (< 350 nm) a departure between the two parameters was also observed. A possible reason for this is discussed within the framework of an inhomogeneous Schottky contact. Enhanced interface inhomogeneity due to the tensile strain appears to be the origin.
