Abstract :

Dielectric nanomaterials are essential for future nanoelectronics, such as gate insulators, high-k capacitors, and resistive random access memories. Among them, dielectric nanocubes are of great interest as their distinct geometry would exhibit excellent dielectric properties with a narrow dispersion of capacitance. This is extremely important for the design of stable dielectric components for next generation nanoelectronics. In this work, we have developed effective approaches to prepare well- dispersed dielectric nanocubes and to assemble them into ordered thin films. Besides, the effect of interface among nanocubes on the electrical properties was examined.
