Surface States on Semiconductor Crystals; Barriers on the Cd(Se:S) System

Mead, C. A. ORCID icon

Abstract

We report here measurements of surface barrier heights of metal contacts on Cd(Se:S) crystals in which a continuous transition is observed between the CdS case in which the barrier height varies as the metal work function to the CdSe case where the barrier height is essentially independent of the metal. The results have fundamental implications concerning the nature of the surface states and their relationship to the properties of the semiconductor.
