Interfacial behavior of alkyltrichlorosilane monolayers on silicon: Control of flat-band potential and surface state distribution using chain length variation

Copper electrodeposition onto hydrogenated Si(111) surfaces: Influence of thiourea

“…The negative shifting in E FB values as TU content increases (see inset in Fig. 1) would suggest that the surface states distribution in the semiconductor is modified by TU adsorption, as previous reported for organic monolayers [46]. Additional evidence is obtained by potentiodynamic experiments in Cu 2+ ions free solutions.…”

“…It is well-known that copper deposition on n-type silicon is an irreversible process, which is due to the Schottky-barrier formed on the semiconductor electrode [14,15,47]. However, the electron transfer from the redox couple to the conduction band of the n-Si(1 1 1) electrode is promoted for a high donor density (N D % 9 Â 10 19 cm À3 ) [45][46][47][48]. During the second potentiodynamic cycle no current is detected in the whole potential range due to the surface passivation by the oxide layer formed.…”

Modified ZSM‐5/polydimethylsiloxane mixed matrix membranes for ethanol/water separation via pervaporation

“…Chlorosilane was very effective for tuning the physical and chemical properties of organic and inorganic materials [13,14]. Until recently, most reports about the modification of inorganic fillers have been focused on the preparation of PV hybrid membranes used for dehydration of organic solvents or gas separation.…”

On doubts about Mott–Schottky plot of organic planar heterojunction in photovoltaic cell

“…[3][4][5][6]). In particular cases experimental results can form a straight line in the Mott-Schottky plot and the line can be used for estimating built-in potential or dopant density (e.g.…”
