Abstract

Carrier transport properties such as carrier concentration (n_e), Hall mobility (μ_Hall) and Seebeck coefficient (S) for the superlattices of [(BaTiO₃)_x/(SrTi_0.7Nb _0.3O₃)₁]_z (x = 1, 4, 6, 9 and 15) were measured to clarify the critical barrier thickness for the electron confinement in a unit cell layer thickness of SrTi_0.7Nb _0.3O₃. The μ_Hall values drastically decreased with the x-value due to the Ba-alloying occurred. We observed enhancement of |S| value in BaTiO₃/SrTi_1-xNb _xO₃ superlattices due to the quantum size effect, which is similar to SrTiO₃/SrTi_0.8Nb_0.2O₃ superlattices. Critical BaTiO₃ layer thickness for fully confinement of the conduction electron significantly decreased (6 unit cells) as compared to that of SrTiO₃/SrTi_0.8Nb_0.2O₃ superlattices.
