By the example of yttrium-barium cuprate, a superconductor with a high critical temperature, we show that the polar nature of complex transition-metal oxides leads to redistribution of the oxygen vacancies concentration in the near-surface region. As a result, a nanoscale region of the surface space charge, that serves as a potential barrier for charge carriers tunnelling into such oxide, is arisen.
Key words: complex oxides of transition metals, oxygen vacancies, local heterogeneity, memristive effects.
