Scientific paper

We report preparation and investigation of p-n heterostructures based on Fe3O4 thin films grown on n-Si(111) substrates as well as indium oxide (IO) and tin doped indium oxide (ITO) layers deposited on lattice-matched monocrystalline ZrO2:Y2O3(100). Thin Fe3O4 films with thickness ranging from 100 to 300 nm were grown in situ at 400 K using dc magnetron sputtering technique. The measurement of microstructure revealed polycrystalline quality of Fe3O4 films on silicon substrate and epitaxial growth on (IO)ITO/YSZ. Investigation of surface composition by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) showed that Fe 2p peak consists of three main peaks, namely, metallic iron Fe(0), Fe(II) and Fe(III). Transport measurements of Fe3O4/n-Si heterostructures demonstrated rectifying behaviour in a wide temperature range (T = 78÷300 K) while those prepared by growing Fe3O4 layers on indium oxide (IO) demonstrated nonlinear current-voltage (I-V) dependencies at low temperatures (T<120K).
