Low-temperature formation of metal/molecular-beam epitaxy
We report soft x-ray photoemission studies of metal/molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE)GaAs(lOO) interfaces formed at low temperature. Our results indicate that rectifying barrier heights are proportional to the metal work function in accordance with Schottky's original description of metal-semiconductor contacts. These results confirm the predictions of a selfconsistent model of metal-semiconductor i...
متن کاملInterface states and Schottky barrier formation at metal/GaAs junctions
We report results of x-ray photoemission and cathodoluminescence spectroscopies studies of interface formation at metal-GaAs junctions. The results are interpreted by using a microscopic model of metal-semiconductor interfaces. Our low-temperature measurements and analyses show the validity of Schottky'S phenomenological description, thereby suggesting that metalinduced gap states and native de...
متن کاملExcited states at interfaces of a metal-supported ultrathin oxide film
We report layer-resolved measurements of the unoccupied electronic structure of ultrathin MgO films grown on Ag(001). The metal-induced gap states at the metal/oxide interface, the oxide band gap, and a surface core exciton involving an image-potential state of the vacuum are revealed through resonant Auger spectroscopy of the Mg KL23L23 Auger transition. Our results demonstrate how to obtain n...
متن کاملMetal induced gap states and Schottky barrier heights at non–reactive GaN/noble metal interfaces
We present ab-initio local density FLAPW calculations on non–reactive N– terminated [001] ordered GaN/Ag and GaN/Au interfaces and compare the results (such as metal induced gap states and Schottky barrier heights) with those obtained for GaN/Al, in order to understand the dependence of the relevant electronic properties on the deposited metal. Our results show that the density of gap states is...
متن کاملThe Role of Interface States in Controlling the Electronic Structure of Alq 3 /reactive Metal Contacts
Gap states induced by the formation of metal/organic interfaces have been observed in a number of instances. Yet, the role that these states play in determining the electronic structure of the interface and the carrier injection barriers has not been clearly established. In this paper, we provide a model for the role of chemistry-induced gap states at Mg/ Alq 3 and Al/Alq 3 interfaces, in parti...
