Electronic properties of metal/MgO(001) interfaces
The Schottky barrier heights (SBH) at various metal-MgO interfaces
(Mg, Al, Ni, Fe, Pd, and Ag) were studied by ultraviolet and X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS and XPS). In order to determine the
Schottky barrier height, the energy distance between the O2s core
level of MgO and the MgO valence band maximum (VBM) is determined to
be  eV at first. The Schottky barrier heights
variation with metal Pauling electronegativities is linear fitted
with a slope parameter of
