AbstractSelenium disulfide has been demonstrated to be an effective passivant for GaAs (001) surfaces. This chemical treatment can be more robust and effective in reducing surface-states-based Fermi level pinning than other analogous chemical treatments. We have studied SeS2-passivated surfaces, formed by treatment of GaAs in SeS2:CS2 solution, with synchrotron radiation photoemission spectroscopy. The SeS2-treated surface consists of a chemically stratified structure of several atomic layers thickness. The As-based sulfides and selenides appear to reside on the outermost surface with the Ga-based compounds adjacent to the bulk GaAs substrate. The motion of the Fermi level within the band gap was monitored during controlled annealing conditions allowing for the specific chemical moieties responsible for the reduction in surface charge to be identified. As-based species are removed at low annealing conditions with little motion of the Fermi level. GaSe-based species, formed on the surface, are clearly shown to be associated with the unpinning of the Fermi level.

ABSTRACTThe heterojunctions formed between solution phase grown Cu2ZnSn(SxSe1- x)4 (CZTS,Se) and a number of important buffer materials including CdS, ZnS, ZnO, and In2S3, were studied using femtosecond ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (fs-UPS) and photovoltage spectroscopy. With this approach we extract the magnitude and direction of the CZTS,Se band bending, locate the Fermi level within the band gaps of absorber and buffer and measure the absorber/buffer band offsets under flatband conditions. We will also discuss two-color pump/probe experiments in which the band bending in the buffer layer can be independently determined. Finally, studies of the bare CZTS,Se surface will be discussed including our observation of mid-gap Fermi level pinning and its relation to Voc limitations and bulk defects.

AbstractThe self-organized formation of single domain Au silicide nanowires is observed on Si(110). These nanowires are analysed using scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) as well as photoemission spectroscopy (PES). Core-level PES is utilised to confirm the formation of Au silicide and establish its presence as the top most surface structure, i.e., the nanowires. The growth of the Au silicide nanowires and their dimensions are studied by STM. They form for Au coverages of about 1 monolayer and are characterized by widths of about 2 to 3 nm and heights below 1 nm while reaching lengths exceeding 500 nm when choosing appropriate annealing temperatures. Valence band PES and STS indicate a small but finite density of states at the Fermi level typical for compound metals.
