Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The idea of utilizing very large capacitance of electric-double layer (EDL) at a solid/electrolyte interface as a gate dielectric of field-effect transistors, namely EDL transistors (EDLTs), significantly increases a limit of the amount of surface charges controllable by electric-field effect, leading to remarkable demonstrations such as electric-field induced superconductivity and ferromagnetism. We have applied this EDLT technique to strongly-correlated materials, and found that EDLTs based on an archetypal correlated oxide, VO2, enables electrical switching of bulk state of matter beyond the fundamental electrostatic screening length, leading to remarkable changes in the infrared transmittance and the out-of-plane lattice parameter. These functions are not available with conventional field-effect devices based on band insulators, potentially beneficial for future low-energy-consumption electronics beyond conventional silicon-based technologies.
