	Rodney McKee at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and fellow researchers are creating a model of the so-called Schottky barrier in hopes of finding a missing tool from the engineer's tool box. For instance, ferroelectric transistors—ultra-small gateless two-terminal junctions between semiconductor and oxide—switch by reversing the polarity of their junction. But because the region's actions are not well understood, no one has successfully stabilized the ferroelectric transistor, leaving it a glint in the eye of starry-eyed researchers. Now McKee thinks his group has identified the missing tool they need.
