A Study on Surface Transport in Degenerate Semiconductors.

Abstract

The stated objective of this research program was the study of the surface properties of degenerate semiconductors based on the lead chalcogenides. The interest in this class of materials arises from their use as infrared sensing materials. In recent years, the growth of epitaxic film usage made it important to establish how gases affected the properties of the films and to see if surface quantization was, in fact, important. This effort has had two important consequences: It established the importance of oxygen and atomic hydrogen on the electrical properties of the lead chalcogenides; and, A working model for chemical sensing was evolved.
