Study on the Conductive Filament Formation of HfO2

Article Preview

Abstract:

The conductive path formed by the interstitial Ag or substitutional Ag in HfO2 was investigated by the Vienna ab initio. The calculated results indicated that the ordering of interstitial Ag increases the conductivity of HfO2 by forming a conductive filament. The contribution to the electrical conductivity of Ag ions in the material of HfO2 was investigated.
