Description

The CdSiAs/sub 2//aqueous electrolyte interface has been investigated by current-potential, electrolyte-electroreflectance (EER), and capacity measurements. The direct gap of 1.55 eV has been verified by EER and quantum yield measurements. For E parallel c the quantum efficiency exceeds 50% over a broad spectral range. The doping concentration obtained from Mott-Schottky plots is ∼2 . 10/sup 17//cm/sup 3/. Under steady-state conditions the Mott-Schottky plots yielded a flatband potential of -0.19 V/sub SCE/ in 1M H/sub 2/SO/sub 4/. Due to anodic etching it tends to shift to +0.3 V/sub SCE/
