Abstract
Highly c-axis-oriented Ca3Co4O9 (CCO) and ZnO layers were successively grown on Silicon substrates using the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique. The in-plane resistivity of Ca3Co 4O9 film exhibits a metal-insulator transition at 120 K, and the positive Seebeck coefficient is about 119.3 μV/K at 300 K. The electrical transport properties of Ca3Co4O9/ZnO heterostructure demonstrate a rectifying behavior within the temperature range of 45-300 K and the diffusion potential decreases with increasing temperature.
