摘要
The semidirect x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy technique was used to measure the band alignments at the interface of heterostructures based on SnS. The layers were deposited by electrochemical deposition (ECD), chemical bath deposition (CBD), or photochemical deposition (PCD). The following four kinds of heterojunctions were characterized. (1) ECD-SnS/PCD-CdS. (2) CBD-SnS/PCD-CdS. (3) ECD-SnS/ECD-InSxOy. (4) CBD-SnS/ECD-InSxOy. The valence band offsets Delta E-V of those four heterojunctions are determined to be 1.34, 1.59, 0.77, and 0.74 +/- 0.3 eV, respectively.
