Electric field control of the small-polaron hopping conduction in spatial confined Pr0.7(Ca0.6Sr0.4)0.3MnO3/PMN-PT heterostructure

The electric field dependent high-temperature small-polaron hopping conduction was investigated in patterned Pr0.7(Ca0.6Sr0.4)0.3MnO3 strips. The small-polaronic activation energy EA and the carrier localization were found to decrease with the reduction of the strip size. Meanwhile, a similar depend...
