摘要
Control over semiconductor surface energetics can be achieved using different chemisorbed organic molecules with diverse electronic properties. We find evidence of such control over CdTe upon adsorption of dicarboxylic acid derivatives with different substituted phenyl rings. FT-IR measurements show that the dicarboxylic acid derivatives bind as carboxylates to form approximately one monolayer. Such chemisorption modifies both the band bending and the electron affinity (up to 500 and 700 mV, respectively), as measured by contact potential difference (CPD). Changes in band bending result from a coupling between molecular orbitals and surface states close to the valence band and depend on the withdrawing character of the phenyl substituent. A model is presented to interpret and explain the data. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
