Abstract

The effective mass of aluminum oxide differs when surrounded by layers of aluminum compared to when it is formed individually due to changes in band structures, stress effects, surface boundary conditions, charge redistributions, and quantum confinements. These factors lead to variations in the electronic properties of aluminum oxide, including band bending, which directly affects the effective mass. We calculated the effective mass in aluminum oxide and plotted the current distribution as a function of field and temperature using an elliptic function called the Fowler-Nordheim function. We established the relationship between current distribution and temperature variation and found the correlation that enables us to study the change in effective mass with temperature variation.
