Electrical transport experiments are performed on individual alpha-MnO2 and beta-MnO2 nanorods. Both of alpha-MnO2 and beta-MnO2 nanorods are synthesized via hydrothermal routes. A three-region method is used to analyze their nonlinear current-voltage characteristics. Under low biases, the effective contact barrier height is roughly estimated to be 0.05 eV for alpha-MnO2 and 0.15 eV for beta-MnO2, respectively. As the applied bias is high enough, the contact barriers are significantly tilted and the current is largely tunneling. The conductance of alpha-MnO2 and beta-MnO2 nanorods at room temperature is roughly estimated to be 5.98 and 1.74 x 10(-3) cm(-1) Omega(-1), respectively. And the thermal-activation energy is roughly estimated to be 0.047 and 0.226 eV, respectively. OUT results are probably the bases for their applications in nanosized electrical devices.
