Electrode-oxide semiconductor diagram

The case may be exemplified by an oxide semiconductor electrode in an indifferent electrolyte solution. Band diagram of the cell with the aqueous electrolyte solution is shown in Fig. 7, Now, two electrochemical potential levels in the solution are the characteristics of the two reactions of water transformation its oxidation to oxygen, and reduction to hydrogen ... 

Figure 4.3.5. A simplified energy band diagram of an n-type EIS device which has an applied voltage E such that the semiconductor oxide interface is in the inversion regime [shown by crossing of Ef and ( /) ] leading to a buildup of holes at the interface. Two energy scales are shown, one referenced to an electron at infinity (e ) and the other referenced to the saturated calomel electrode (SCE). The surface potential the voltage drop across the insulator, Vj, and the Fermi levels of the reference electrode, the semiconductor under an applied voltage E, and the intrinsic semiconductor [(Ef) t, Ef, and (Ef)i respectively] are all shown. (After Diot et al. [1986].)...

Fig. 1.8 Diagram of a metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSDEET). It includes a capacitor-fike gate composed of a metallic electrode, a dieleetrie and a semiconductor layer. Voltage switching at the gate generates either no current flow or current flow between the source and drain terminals this corresponds to a sequence of 0 and 1 bits in the binary system. Transistors with MOSFET stmcture are the most commonly used active components of DRAMs (dynamic random access memories) in computers and intelligent cards...

Figure 1.1 Simple equivalent circuit (top) for modeling solar cell current-voltage characteristics and energy level diagram (bottom) mapping the various charge transfer processes in a DSSC to the current pathways of the model circuit. The dominant mechanisms are described by a current density Jl induced upon photoexcitation and electron injection into the conduction band of the metal oxide semiconductor surface MO, linear (Jsh) and nonlinear (/jj) reverse current densities in parallel with photocurrent source and a series resistance to account for electrode and ionic resistances. In Section 1.2.2 M0 = Ti02, Sn02, X = Br, I.

Scheme I. Interface energetics for an n-type semiconductor under illumination giving an uphill oxidation of A to A+ to the extent of of Ey. Generally, the desired oxidation is only competitive with the anodic decomposition of the semiconductor. In the diagram Ef represents the electrode potential Eqb the bottom of the conduction band and Eyu the top of the valence band. At open-circuit Ey Eg,...

Fig. 9 Energy diagram showing the contact of the nanocrystalline semiconductor electrode with the transparent conducting oxide (TCO) substrate, and the change of Fermi levels and the vacuum level under illumination, with respect to the dark equilibrium. AE is the energy offset between the conduction band of the Xi02 and the transparent conducting oxide (TCO)...
