Semiconductors MATERIALS TESTE

This means that the photoelectron is transferred to an electron acceptor concomitantly with trapping of the photohole by an electron donor (Fig. 10.1). Semiconductor materials have been tested as photocatalysts for the photodissociation of water. Fig. 10.4 shows the energetics in terms of standard redox potential of some semiconductors as compared to the standard redox potential of H2/H+ and H20/02 at pH 0. 

A vast number of semiconductor materials have been tested for use as electrodes. Some of these are elucidated in Chapter 28, particularly with respect to their unique properties toward photochemically excited molecules, although most have been used as bulk single crystals and not as polycrystalline films. The two most common semiconducting film electrodes are Sn02 and InOx. 

Gallium arsenide is a semiconductor material that can be used to manufacture photovoltaic cells. The gallium and arsenic needed to make these materials are rare compared to silicon. It is difficult, and thus expensive to produce semiconductor gallium arsenide of proper purity for photovoltaic cells. Despite the higher cost of gallium arsenide, it is of great interest because test photovoltaic cells have shown sunlight to electricity efficiencies of over 20%. They have found some use in space applications. 

Many semiconductor materials in various forms have been tested for biocompatibility and also compared with traditionally implanted materials such as titanium. We have reviewed this work previously [14]. 

Whenever semiconductor materials have been tested under comparable conditions, Ti02 has generally been demonstrated to be the most active (22). 

Investigating the hydrogen evolution of the water splitting reaction, Ptx clusters supported on a semiconductor material serve as part of a new well defined photocatalyst material, which is tested as a function of coverage and size in the liquid phase in a systematic study. 

The latter case (in contrast to the first one) will have no direct impact on the conduction. The former determines the appearance of a depletion layer at the surface of the semiconductor material, due to the equilibrium between the trapping of electrons in the surface states (associated with the adsorbed species) and their release due to desorption and the reaction with test gase. From the modeling point of view, it is described by the Poisson and electroneutrality equations. Out of the first two factors, one can calculate the dependence of the electron concentration s in the...
