Electronic crossing

Figure C3.5.5. Vibronic relaxation time constants for B- and C-state emitting sites of XeF in solid Ar for different vibrational quantum numbers v, from [25]. Vibronic energy relaxation is complicated by electronic crossings caused by energy transfer between sites.

For phenomena involving electrons crossing the phase boundary (photocurrents, electron photoemission), the quantum yield j of the reaction is a criterion frequently employed. It is defined as the ratio between the number of electrons, N, that have crossed and the number of photons, that had reached the reaction zone (or, in another definition, the number of photons actually absorbed by the substrate) J=N /N. ...

In fact, this attraction between negative charges (that violates the principles of electrostatics) is mediated by the crystal structure of the superconductor. In every metal lattice there is a reciprocal stripping of valence electrons between metal sites which results in these metal sites, fixed at lattice positions, assuming a positive charge. As shown in Figure 7, when a moving electron crosses these positive metal sites the metal ions are attracted towards the electron trajectory and disturbed from its equilibrium position.

Indeed, a small current does flow, though not across the interphase. It is called a charging current, i.e., a current observed because there is an electron flow either out of the electrode or into it. But this latter current does not result in any electrons crossing the interphase it s like charging the plates of a condenser. A perfectly polarizable electrode is the analogue of an absolutely leakproof condenser. 

Fig. 7.42. A potentiostatic transient. The current (A-B) ascends almost vertically after being switched on, because all of it goes to charge the double layer. In B-C, the current is increasingly used in the form of electrons crossing the double layer. After C the current should decline slowly as diffusion control sets in. In reality, at solid polycrystalline electrodes, in reactions involving adsorbed intermediates, there is often some further variation of /, owing to, e.g., surface crystalline rearrangements and the effect of impurities from the solution.

Fig. 7.43. Idealized galvanostatic result shown as a plot of potential against time at constant current density. A-B is largely double layer charging through the current and becomes used increasingly by electrons crossing the irrterfacial region. About one-fourth to one-half of this section in practice is linear and can be used to obtain the capacity of the interface from iL= C dVIdt B-C shows the current changeover to be entirely taken up (at C) with electrons crossing the interfacial region.

Here one fixes the potential of the working electrode to a certain value and at t = current density at an electrode can be written as the sum of the condenser charging current (ic) and the Faradaic current of electrons crossing the double layer (iF). Thus,... 

In this section, we shall review various factors that must be considered in accurate evaluation of center parameters from the raw data. First, the extent of the (already mentioned) lattice relaxation must be considered (see below). Second, there can be additional complications, such as excited states or a held dependence of the cross section. In any case, one tries to separate out such complications and thus obtain an electronic cross section. This latter can then be compared to appropriate theory (Section 12). 

The next important aspect to be considered is the electron-phonon interaction (lattice relaxation). Here, the effect of momentum conserving phonons, or promoting modes, can in principle be included in the electronic cross section this is discussed, for instance, by Monemar and Samuelson (1976) and Stoneham (1977). However, the configuration coordinate (CC) phonons (or accepting modes) are treated separately. The effect of these CC modes is usually expressed by the Franck-Condon factor dF c, where this factor is the same as the defined in our Fig. 16. Thus assuming a single mode,...

The parameter values are appropriate for the electron cross section ( ) for in GaP. The level depth is E, = 0.9 eV, the band gap is Et = 2.2 eV, the average optical gap (the Penn gap) is Ep = 5.8 eV, and the temperature is 400°K. [After Jaros (1977, Fig. 5e).]...

There still remains one part of the electronic cross section to be discussed the density of states. It has been increasingly realized lately that the density of states is by now relatively well known for most semiconductors. It can thus be incorporated properly in the cross section, although possibly only by a numerical analysis. As can be seen from Tables III and IV, most recent papers that treat a specific center do indeed either include the proper density of states or show that a parabolic density is appropriate in the range of their analysis. That this density of states can be very important in the shape of the cross section has also been recently emphasized (Nazareno and Amato, 1982). 

Considering the method of preparation of these ZnO samples, these results correspond to what one would expect on the basis of the adsorption model. The samples were sintered or evaporated at some high temperature, and then cooled to room temperature in air. As discussed in Section IV, 1, adsorption will occur until the rate of electrons crossing the surface barrier is pinched off to zero at room temperature. If the temperature is now lowered below room temperature, no electron transfer will be possible between the surface level and the bulk of the solid due to this high surface barrier. Thus the surface levels will be isolated and unable to affect the conductivity, which will therefore reflect bulk properties of the zinc oxide. 

If the orbitals belonging to different subshells are assumed to have the same one-electron cross sections, the integrated ionization cross section of a particular subshell is simply proportional to the occupancy of that orbital in the subshell in the molecule. 

Cross sections for neon and argon have also been presented by Coleman et al. (1982) and Mori and Sueoka (1994), though here there are no theoretical data for comparison. The positron and electron cross sections (the latter from the work of de Heer, Jansen and van der Kaay, 1979) are of very similar magnitude, despite the fact that triplet states cannot be excited by positron impact.
