A systematic study of the role of the insulator layer on rectification performance in metal–insulator–metal structures is reported. Four different MIM systems with Nb/Pt metal pairs and Nb 2 O 5 , TiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , MgO as the insulator candidates are investigated based on an empirical hypothesis. As per the hypothesis and experimental verification, several prospective MIM systems such as Sm/ZrO 2 /Pt and Hf/TiO 2 /Pt are identified and a MIM materials‐space is constructed.
