Abstract: New theoretical work nails down the microscopic origin of 'dead layers' in nanometre-scale capacitors and demonstrates that it is an intrinsic effect. The results provide practical guidelines for minimizing the deleterious effects of the dielectric dead layer, for example regarding the choice of electrode.
