RELAXATION PHENOMENA ON INDIUM ANTIMONIDE SURFACES AT HIGH ELECTRIC FIELDS.

Abstract

High voltage pulsed field effect experiments were performed on two surfaces of n-type InSb which were previously exposed to a mixture of chlorine and air. The observed relaxation phenomena were attributed to an emission of electrons from a 'slow' surface state into the conduction band. These phenomena were adequately described by a quantum mechanical tunnel equation. A 'slow' surface state was located approximately 0.04 eV below the conduction band edge on both surfaces. High voltage alternating current field effect experiments were concurrently performed on the same surfaces. (Author)
