Abstract

Heterojunctions composed of La0.7 Ca0.3 Mn O3 and 0.05 wt % Nb-doped SrTi O3 were fabricated using pulse laser deposition. The current-voltage characteristics of such heterojunctions can be described by tunneling with an effective Schottky barrier. These junctions showed significant response to ultraviolet and visible light. Band-to-band and internal photoemission were characterized by photoelectric experiments. A quantum efficiency of about 86% was observed at an incident energy of ∼3.95 eV, which corresponds to the band-to-band excitation of electrons in Nb:SrTi O3. From the internal photoemission, the height of Schottky barrier was determined as 1.64 eV.
