Possible sources of deviations of semiconductor/metal and semiconductor/electrolyte Schottky barriers from ideality are discussed. The conditions under which the flat-band potential of the barrier can be determined by capacitance measurements are deduced. Results on the flat-band potential and the position of the band edges for several semiconductor/electrolyte barriers are given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
