Hi, (sorry for my english btw)
I'm doing this work in a course about transition metal. I'm studying chemistry and i know a very little about physics. I have to present an application of transition metal and i chose the NAND flash memory. I began reading few articles about Al and Pt gates and I was wondering what are the properties exploited here?
So, I'm trying to know why we would use a transition metal rather than Si or Pb ? (I know Al has no e- in its d orbital)
I also found some articles about IrO and TaN metal gates and some Hf nanocrystal etc.
What are the transition metal's properties exploited for the use of NAND flash memory ?
