The presence of Al nanocrystals (nc-Al) in AlN thin films is found to enhance the current conduction of the thin film system greatly due to the formation of tunneling paths of nc-Al arrays, and the nc-Al/AlN system shows a quasi-two-dimensional transport following a power law. However, charge trappi...
