Photoeffects at Semiconductor Surfaces

  • Chapter

Abstract

Photons absorbed by a semiconductor can induce three types of electron transitions involving the bands of the solid: (i) electron transitions from a filled band to a conduction band, (ii) electron transitions to or from an adsorbate or an equivalent surface state, or (iii) electron transitions to or from energy levels in the forbidden gap region in the bulk material. The last case is generally of little interest in surface studies even though it is of great interest in fluorescence and other bulk properties. Absorption associated with surface states is of interest because it can provide information about the energy levels at the surface.
