Electron occupation in the frontier bands of metal crystals varies with different metals as shown in Fig. 2-7. For metallic iron the frontier bands consist of hybridized 4s-3d-4p orbitals, in which 4s and 3d are partially occupied by electrons but 4p is vacant for electrons. Figure 2-8 shows the electron state density curve of metallic iron, where the 3d and 4s bands are partially filled with electrons. Electrons in metals occupy the energy states in a frontier band successively fix>m the lower band edge level to the Fermi level, leaving the higher levels vacant. [Pg.19]

The semiconductor surface where the Fermi level is pinned at a surface state of high density (Fig. 2-31) is in the state of degeneracy of electron levels, because of the high electron state density at the surface Fermi level. Similarly, the surface degeneracy is also established when the band bending becomes so great that the Fermi level is pinned either in the conduction band or in the valence band as shown in Fig. 2-32. [Pg.44]

Since the electron state density near the Fermi level at the degenerated surface (Fermi level pinning) is so high as to be comparable with that of metals, the Fermi level pinning at the surface state, at the conduction band, or at the valence band, is often called the quasi-metallization of semiconductor surfaces. As is described in Chap. 8, the quasi-metallized surface occasionally plays an important role in semiconductor electrode reactions. [Pg.44]

Figure 8-11 shows as a function of electron energy e the electron state density Dgdit) in semiconductor electrodes, and the electron state density Z e) in metal electrodes. Both Dsd.t) and AKe) are in the state of electron transfer equilibrium with the state density Z>bei)ox(c) of hydrated redox particles the Fermi level is equilibrated between the redox particles and the electrode. For metal electrodes the electron state density Ai(e) is high at the Fermi level, and most of the electron transfer current occurs at the Fermi level enio. For semiconductor electrodes the Fermi level enao is located in the band gap where no electron level is available for the electron transfer (I>sc(ef(so) = 0) and, hence, no electron transfer current can occur at the Fermi level erso. Electron transfer is allowed to occur only within the conduction and valence bands where the state density of electrons is high (Dsc(e) > 0). [Pg.249]

Increase of the electronic state density in the carbon pore walls with the voltage. Hahn et al. [52] have measured double-layer capacitance and electronic conductance of an activated carbon electrode in an aprotic electrolyte solution, 1 mol/dm3 (C2H5)4NBF4 in acetonitrile. Both quantities show a similar dependency on the electrode potential with distinct minima near the potential of zero charge. This correlation suggests that the capacitance, like the conductance, is governed substantially by the electronic properties of the solid, rather than by the ionic properties of the solution in the interface of the double layer. [Pg.438]
