Abstract:Experimental studies and theoretical calculations of the photoemission from Cs/n-GaN(0001) and Ba/n-GaN(0001) ultrathin interfaces were carried out. The electronic properties of the interfaces were studied in situ using threshold photoemission spectroscopy under vacuum at a residual pressure of P ~ 5 × 10?11 Torr. A new effect was revealed, namely, photoemission with a high quantum yield under excitation with light in the transparency region of GaN. It was shown that adsorption of Cs or Ba on n-GaN brings about the formation of a quasi-two-dimensional electron channel, i.e., a charge accumulation layer directly near the surface. The dependences of the photoemission spectra and work function on the thickness of Cs and Ba coatings were investigated. It was established that adsorption of Cs and Ba leads to a sharp decrease in the work function by ~1.45 and ~1.95 eV, respectively. The photoemission spectra were calculated, and parameters of the accumulation layer, such as the energy position of the layer below the Fermi level for different Cs and Ba coverages, were determined. It was demonstrated that the energy parameters of the accumulation layer on the n-GaN(0001) surface can be controlled by properly varying the Cs or Ba coverage. The layer thickness was found to reach a maximum for a cesium coverage of ~0.5 monolayer.
