Fakih, Ali. "Current controlled negative differential resistance in niobium dioxide." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Sorbonne université, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019SORUS099.
Niobium dioxide (NbO2) has been recently gaining a lot of interest in the fields of solid state physics and technological nano-devices. On one hand, NbO2 undergoes a structural distortion accompanied by an electronic phase transition where the material changes from an insulating state at room temperature into a metallic state at temperatures above ∼ 1080 K. On the other hand, NbO2 exhibits a negative differential resistance phase under the application of electric current, a phenomenon known as current-controlled negative differential resistance CC-NDR. In this thesis, we have fabricated thin films of NbO2 by RF-mangentron sputtering technique on amorphous and crystalline substrates (glass and silicon). The deposited films were always amorphous, and annealing treatment of the as-deposited films was necessary to achieve crystallinity. . Upon performing electronic studies on NbO2, we witnessed CC-NDR with a hysteresis in the V(I) curves. We showed that hysteresis in CC-NDR is due to temperature inhomogeneity. Simultaneous electronic transport and Raman measurements show that CC-NDR is not associated to a phase transition. Moreover, we showed that there is a similar temperature driven change in conductivity in both the amorphous and the crystalline samples, however, the amorphous sample is a better electronic and thermal conductor. Finally, we proved that the CC-NDR may be simplyexplained by the creation of carriers by temperature in a semiconductor, without the need for invoking more complicated transport mechanisms

This thesis aims at the realization and structural, optical, and electrical characterization of thin films of oxide materials with insulator-to-metal transition (MIT) properties, more specifically vanadium oxides (VO2 and W-doped VO2) and niobium dioxide (NbO2). The deposition of these thin films was performed using reactive magnetron sputtering in an Ar/ O2 atmosphere. During the optimization process of the thin films, valuable insights were gained into the effects the fabrication process has over the structural, optical and electrical characteristics. Furthermore, the films were integrated into various devices such as thermally/ electrically activated THz modulators, optically reconfigurable metacanvases and oscillating devices. The information provided in this manuscript is of high interest for the integration of VO2 and W-doped VO2 films into devices that can operate in various fields. This work also deepens our understanding of NbO2 films, an area with comparatively less research but of particular interest for applications requiring higher temperature stability

Stöver, Julian. "Defect related transport mechanism in the resistive switching materials SrTiO3 and NbO2." Doctoral thesis, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.18452/23122.
In this work, the impact of crystal defects on the resistive switching materials SrTiO3 and NbO2 is investigated. The work is divided into two parts. In the first part, NbO2 (001) thin films are studied. So far, resistivities measured for NbO2 thin films in the insulating phase are by a factor of 200 lower than the 10 kΩ cm resistivity measured in NbO2 single crystals. To make this material applicable for resistive switching, the resistivity in the insulating phase has to be increased to effectively block the current in the high resistive state. Throughout the investigations presented in this work, the resistivity of NbO2 thin films is increased to 945 Ω cm. It is shown that conductive percolation paths along the grain boundaries are responsible for the decrease in resistivity. Temperature-dependent conductivity measurements identified defect states responsible for the reduction in resistivity from the theoretical value. In the second part of this work, the influence of the Ti anti-site defect on resistive switching in SrTiO3 thin films grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy is studied. Both stoichiometric and strontium deficient thin films are studied. It is shown via temperature-dependent permittivity measurements that crystal defects harden the soft phonon mode and polar nano regions are formed in highly strontium deficient films, which was attributed to the formation of Ti antisite defects. In addition, highly strontium deficient SrTiO3 films are shown to exhibit stable resistive switching with an on-off ratio of 2e7 at 10 K, whereas stoichiometric thin-films do not show stable switching. A diode-like transport mechanism based on Schottky emission in the high-resistance state and dominated by defect-assisted tunneling current in the low-resistance state is identified. From this, a new model for resistive switching based on the Ti antisite defect and the induced ferroelectricity is developed.

Improvement of nuclear fuel performances requires reducing the stability of corrosion fission gas, in particular the speciation of potentially corrosive fission products (Cs, I, Te). Doping uranium dioxide with an oxydo-redox buffer couple is the improvement axis considered in this work. It aims at improving redox buffer couple effect on pO2 (oxygen partial pressure) and their impact on properties of speciation of fission products in UO2. Actually, in typical nominal operation, the oxygen potential is quite close to that imposed by the (Mo/MoO2) buffer. The first objective of this work was to clarify the thermochemistry (solubility and speciation in UO2) of the (Mo/MoO2) couple. We studied the MoO2 ⇌ Mo transition in UO2 as a function of pO2 and temperature by X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) in situ at the KARA synchrotron (Germany). We show that the oxidation reactions of molybdenum are always thermodynamically possible, whatever the temperature conditions but with a slow kinetics at 800°C. The oxidation rate increases with temperature. In addition, the solubility of Mo in UO2 was measured by SIMS (Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry) and EPMA (Electron probe micro-analyzer). We found a solubility limit of the order of 10-4 mol Mo/mol U, i.e. 0.01 %weight of Mo/UO2.Then niobium, with its redox forms Nb2O5/NbO2, has been identified as a promising candidate due to different selection criteria (physico-chemical and neutronic properties). The first step was to prepare UO2 with this buffer. A specific manufacturing process of the buffered UO2 fuel, doped with the (Nb2O5/NbO2) couple has been developed in order to preserve both oxido-reducing forms of the oxygen buffer in the pellets while sintering. This process has been also validated for UO2 doped with the (MoO2/Mo) couple. We have shown that the initially introduced (Nb2O5/NbO2) buffer was transformed during sintering into (UNb2O7/NbO2). The equilibrium of the latter couple is very close to that of the initial buffer and therefore it can fulfill its role of pO2 control in the targeted domain.Then, the final objective was the validation of the buffer effect related to the addition of (Nb2O5/NbO2) in UO2. So we first studied by means of High Resolution X-Ray diffraction at high temperature (HR HT XRD) and Neutron Diffraction (DN) the variation of the lattice parameter of the UO2 fluorite matrix in presence of the niobium pO2 buffer. The latter can act as a local buffer enforcing a stabilization of the pO2 within the system and therefore of the stoichiometry of the UO2+x matrix. We also show that the U-Nb-O system has many ternary phases including Nb4+ and Nb5+cations, all stable on a narrow domain of pO2. Thus, these different ternary phases participate to buffer systems, which make it possible to regulate the oxido-reducing disturbances imposed on the material without any notable modification of the pO2 (stabilization of the lattice parameter).Then, the UO2 pellets elaborated with the (Nb2O5/NbO2) buffer couple were implanted with cesium, iodine, molybdenum and tellurium ions in a thin surface layer (1 µm approximately). Speciation were characterized by X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy, using synchrotron radiation (KARA)

Temperature and oxygen partial pressure (PO2) of nuclear oxide fuels are the main parametersgoverning both their thermochemical evolution in reactor and the speciation of volatile fissionproducts such as Cs, I or Te. An innovative way to limit the risk of cladding rupture by corrosionunder irradiation consists in buffering the oxygen partial pressure of the fuel under operation in a PO2domain where the fission gas are harmless towards Zr clad, by using solid redox buffers as additives.Niobium, with its NbO2/NbO and Nb2O5/NbO2 redox couples has been found to be a promisingcandidate to this end. A manufacturing process of a buffered UO2 fuel, doped with niobium has beenoptimized, in order to fulfill usual specifications (density, microstructure). The experimental study ofthe UO2-NbOx system has shown the existence of a liquid phase between UO2 and NbOx at 810°C,which was not reported in the literature. The characterization of Nb containing phases present in UO2both in solid solution and as precipitates has lead us to propose a solubility thermodynamic model ofniobium in UO2 at 1700°C. An extensive study of the niobium precipitates shows the co-existence inthe fuel of NbO2 and NbO as major phases, together with small amounts of metallic Nb. The coexistenceof niobium under two oxidation states inside the fuel is a key element of demonstration of apossible in-situ buffering effect, which is likely to impact some properties of the material that aredependent upon PO2, such as densification. These results confirm the promising potential of oxygenbuffered fuels as regard to their performance in reactor

The work presented in this manuscript was dedicated to the synthesis and to the structural, electric and spectroscopic characterization of new compounds containing ion uranyl, transition metal oxoanions (Niobates, tantalates and antimonates) and alkaline metals. The first part of this study was devoted to the niobate family A1-xUNbO6-x/2, with x = 0 and 0,5 and A = alkaline; ln this family, the compounds can adopt two types of structural architectures: three-dimensional structures presenting large tunnels, or two-dimensional structures with a stacking of layers, where the monovalent cations are localized in the tunnels or between the layers. The role of the alkaline cation in the structural connectivity and dimensionality, as also in the stability of these phases, has been evidenced by carrying out various substitutions between alkaline cations: Cs1.- xKxUNbO6, CS0.5-xRbxUNbO5.75 and Cs1-xRbxUNbO6 or between oxoanions: CS0.5UNb1-xTixO5.75-x/2 and CS0.5UNb1-xWxOS.7S+x/2. The last part of that study was devoted to the alkaline uranyl tantalates and antimoinates. The structures of these new compounds AUMO6 (A = K et Cs; M = Ta, Sb) and A0,5UTaO5,75 (A = Rb, Cs) have been determined from powder X-Ray diffraction data

In this study, optical films of silicon dioxide and niobium pentoxide were coated by using an RF sputtering system aided with a plasma source. Dioxide need in multilayer optical applications usually is a low refractive index material, and; niobium pentoxide is a high refractive index material. In this study, we expected that the silicon dioxide and niobium pentoxide films have a good stable refractive index and low optical absorption to develop the useful optical filters. We use home-made plasma source system to replace end-Hall ion source used in our previous study. The advantages of this plasma source are no overheating, and less contamination from the filament of Wolfram assembled in the end-Hall source. There is no issue of burning of filament during the deposition. This plasma source is derived by using a high DC voltage to dissociate the reactive gas in the source, such as oxygen. The substrate temperature significantly reduces in the deposition process, when compared with that in ion assisted deposition by end-Hall source. The optical properties of the samples are illustrated by ellipsometry and spectroscopy measurements to, analyze their refractive index and extinction coefficients and to identify the suitable parameters for coating optical thin films of silicon dioxide and niobium pentoxide. The results show that the silicon dioxide film has the best refractive index and the lowest optical absorption when deposited at the oxygen partial pressure of 70% with the ion current 1.2 mA. Moreover, the niobium pentoxide film at the oxygen partial pressure of 60% with the ion current 1.5 mA. In this study, we confirmed the plasma in the sputtering process can effectively increase the film optical quality.

Transparent conductive oxide(TCO) with high transmittance and excellent conductivity, It has been widely used as photovoltaic components. Because of the cost of materials is lower than the commonly used indium tin oxide(ITO), niobium doped titanium dioxide(TNO) is a promising transparent conducting oxide material In this study, transparent conductive Nb-doped TiO2 (TNO) thin films were deposited onto glass substrate, using the electron beam gun evaporation method. There are two kinds of penetration way, one is slug type and the other is powder type. Nb-doped TiO2 thin films with different doping concentration and different annealing temperature were researched.The TNO thin films were measured thickness by α-step. Structural and composition were analyzed by energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). And then measured by UV-Visible spectrometer and Hall effect measurement system to observed transmittance and electrical properties. The results show the best Nb-doping concentration is 10wt% of Nb2O5, the ratio of atom of Ti and Nb, Nb/(Ti+Nb), is 9.13at%. After annealed in 400℃, the structural changed into anatase from amorphous. The average transmittance is 70% in visible region. The lowest resistivity is 2.33×10-3Ω-cm.
