Ultra-wide bandgap materials show great promise as a solution to some of the limitations of
current state of the art semiconductor technology. Among these, diamond has exhibited …

Theoretical models of Schottky-barrier height formation are reviewed. A particular emphasis
is placed on the examination of how these models agree with general physical principles …

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have shown great potential for electronic and
optoelectronic applications. However, their development is limited by a large Schottky …

Wide-band-gap oxides such as SrTiO 3 are shown to be critical tests of theories of Schottky
barrier heights based on metal-induced gap states and charge neutrality levels. This theory …

Physics at Surfaces is a unique graduate-level introduction to the physics and chemical
physics of solid surfaces, and atoms and molecules that interact with solid surfaces. A …

Surface and interface physics has still remained an indispensible basis for many branches
of modern research, in particular for all kinds of nanoscience, as the properties of …

Simple physical considerations of local charge neutrality suggest that near a metal-
semiconductor interface, the Fermi level in the semiconductor is pinned near an effective …

Semiconductor Surfaces and Interfaces deals with structural and electronic properties of
semiconductor surfaces and interfaces. The first part introduces the general aspects of …

Interactions between metals and oxides are key factors to determine the performance of
metal/oxide heterojunctions, particularly in nanotechnology, where the miniaturization of …
