We have systematically investigated the intrinsic electrical property of a single crystal zinc oxide (ZnO) micro/nanobelt (MB/NB) using a conductive atomic force microscopy (AFM) technique. By mounting one end of the MB/NB on a flat nonconductive silicon substrate, a platform for performing electrical property characterization using conductive current AFM is established. The quantitative characterization of the electrical resistance of the MB/NBs was performed by acquiring I–V curves for the MB/NB in between the electrode and the conductive AFM tip. The resistance of the single crystalline ZnO MB/NB was measured to be exponentially dependent on the length of the MB/NB. A systematic model based on the anisotropic velocity of the carriers in the crystal planes has been proposed and fits the experimental measurement well. This research reveals that the electrical resistance shows a nonlinear length dependence in the semiconducting single crystal MB/NB, which is significantly different from the bulk counterpart. Understanding such a property could definitely improve the design and the performance of next generation electrical nanodevices.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
