Abstract
We have carried out calculations of current-voltage characteristics for the electron tunnel current through a junction with a thin insulating ferroelectric barrier assuming that interface transmissions for the left and right interfaces noticeably differ due to dissimilarity of the interfaces. Obtained conductance versus voltage and current versus voltage curves exhibit well distinguishable asymmetric hysteresis. We show that the asymmetry in the hysteretic effects could originate from the asymmetric bias voltage profile inside the junction. In particular, we analyze the hysteresis asymmetries occurring when the bias voltage distribution is low sensitive to the spontaneous polarization reversal.
