Abstract

Results are presented from investigations into the conductivity of heterostructures based on two-dimensionally ordered (TDO) linear-chain carbon (LCC) in the form of Al-LCC-Al and pSi-LCC-Al. The Al-LCC-Al structure is shown to possess a nonlinear ohmic contact with a barrier height of around 0.7 eV. It is shown that an over-barrier (Schottky) mechanism of electron injection to LCC in the forward direction and a tunneling effect (Fowler-Nordheim tunnel injection mechanism) in the backward direction occur in the pSi-LCC-Al heterostructure.
