Abstract

In this work, we report on the electrical characterization of nanoparticular thin films of zinc oxide (ZnO) and aluminum-doped ZnO (AZO). Temperature-dependent current-voltage measurements revealed that charge transport for both, ZnO and AZO, is well described by the Poole-Frenkel model and excellent agreement between the experimental data and the theoretical predictions is demonstrated. For the first time it is shown that the nature of the charge-transport is not affected by the doping of the nanoparticles and it is proposed that the Poole-Frenkel effect is an intrinsic and universally limiting mechanism for the charge transport in nanoparticular thin films with defect states within the bandgap. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2015.
