First Time

AbstractElectronic structures of the n -GaN(0001) surface and Cs/ n -GaN(0001) interface with submonolayer Cs coverages were studied for the first time in situ by the photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) method. The spectra of photoemission from the valence band, surface electron states, and core levels (Ga 3 d , Cs 4 d , Cs 5 p ) under synchrotron excitation were measured in a range of photon energies within 50–150 eV. Evolution of the spectrum of surface states near the valence-band maximum was revealed by PES during the adsorption of Cs atoms. A metallic character of the Cs/ n -GaN(0001) nano-interface is demonstrated.

AbstractAlthough GaN has been extensively studied for applications in both light emitting and high power devices, the AlN/GaN valence band offset remains an area of contention. Values quoted in the literature range from 0.8eV (Martin)[1] to 1.36eV (Waldrop)[2]. This paper details an investigation of the AIN/AlxGa1-xN band offset as a function of alloy composition. We find an AlN/AlxGa1-xN valence band offset that is nearly linear with Al content and an end point offset for AlN/GaN of 1.36 ± 0.1 eV. Samples were grown using radio frequency plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy and characterized with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). Core-level and valence-band XPS data for AIN (0001) and AlxGa1-xN (0001) samples were analyzed to determine core-level to valence band maximum (VBM) energy differences. In addition, oxygen contamination effects were tracked in an effort to improve accuracy. Energy separations of core levels were obtained from AlN/AlxGa1-xN(0001) heterojunctions. From this and the core-level to valence band maximum separations of the bulk materials, valence band offsets were calculated.

Reconstructed Surface

The incorporation of oxygen onto the (3×3) reconstructed surface of GaN(0001) has been studied using X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). It was found that the (3×3) reconstruction corresponds to a fractional Ga adlayer atop a Ga terminated GaN surface. Our measurements indicate a surface coverage of 1.15 ± 0.2 monolayers of relaxed Ga on the surface. The binding energy separation between the relaxed surface Ga3d core level and bulk Ga3d level was measured to be 1.1 ± 0.1 eV. A metallic component extending from the bulk GaN valence band maximum out to 0 eV was also present in the XPS spectrum. The separation between the bulk valence band maximum and the Fermi level of the metallic component was found to be 2.1 ± 0.1 eV. The relaxation of the surface Ga was found to decrease with oxygen exposure indicating Ga-O bonding, with oxygen adsorption terminating at 1.3 ± 0.2 monolayers. The O1s core level was found to have a FWHM of 2.0 ± 0.1 eV.

AbstractIn lead–halide perovskites, antibonding states at the valence band maximum (VBM)—the result of Pb 6s-I 5p coupling—enable defect-tolerant properties; however, questions surrounding stability, and a reliance on lead, remain challenges for perovskite solar cells. Here, we report that binary GeSe has a perovskite-like antibonding VBM arising from Ge 4s-Se 4p coupling; and that it exhibits similarly shallow bulk defects combined with high stability. We find that the deep defect density in bulk GeSe is ~1012 cm−3. We devise therefore a surface passivation strategy, and find that the resulting GeSe solar cells achieve a certified power conversion efficiency of 5.2%, 3.7 times higher than the best previously-reported GeSe photovoltaics. Unencapsulated devices show no efficiency loss after 12 months of storage in ambient conditions; 1100 hours under maximum power point tracking; a total ultraviolet irradiation dosage of 15 kWh m−2; and 60 thermal cycles from −40 to 85 °C.
