Abstract

Surface modifications have great potential to control semiconductor properties such as band bending (BB) and electron affinity (EA). It is demonstrated that tailor‐made, surface‐binding molecules—discarboxylic acid derivatives with aromatic substituents in this case—can be used to modify systematically both the EA and BB of CdSe. The molecular parameters that affect each of these have been resolved and a semiquantitative model is put forward to rationalize the observed molecule‐induced band‐bending energies.

  1. EA is the energy difference of electrons at vacuum (just outside the range of the image forces) and at the bottom of the conduction band at the surface. BB is the electric potential difference between the surface and bulk of the semiconductor.

  31. FTIR of the dicarboxylates did not enable us to determine the preferred mode of coordination because of unfavorable signal/noise although unidentate coordination seemed to dominate.

  33. We assumed that the extinction coefficients of Na‐carboxylate and surface‐bound Cd‐carboxylate stretches are comparable.
  34. Adsorption of DMDC increased the EA by 110 mV. This can be accounted for by the hydrogen bonding and even proton transfer between the molecules as indicated by FTIR.

  36. The molecules LUMO levels were estimated by applying Koopman's theorem according to which a molecules LUMO level can be determined by subtracting its lowest singlet energy transition (hv=ELUMo‐ EHOMO) from its ionization potential IP

  39. All of our CPD measurements i.e. those yielding the energetics both before and after adsorption were done in air. This means that our initial and final states are gas–solid rather than liquid–solid ones. Therefore the model presents the molecule's energy in the gas phase and the surface energy in air even though the molecule–surface interaction took place in solution.

  41. Adsorption of BA overnight or for 10 min did not change the BB; CBA adsorption overnight induced a BB change (120 mV) in contrast to what is observed after adsorption for 10 min (< 50 mV). We ascribe this difference to the adsorption kinetics of BAson CdTe and to the different crystal source [21].
