Abstract: | Optical spectroscopy, gravimetric analysis, and microscopy studies show that irradiating bismuth films (d = 3–55 nm) with light (λ = 360 nm and I = 1.8 × 1015–7.0 × 1015 quantum cm?2 s?1) leads to major changes in their absorption and reflectance spectra and in film mass. The kinetic curves of the degree of photochemical transformation of bismuth films are shown to obey linear, inverse logarithmic, cubic, and logarithmic laws. The contact potential difference (CPD) of Bi and Bi2O3 films and the photo-electromotive force (emf) of Bi-Bi2O3 systems are measured. An energy band diagram of Bi-Bi2O3 systems is constructed. A model that includes the stages of generation, recombination, and redistribution of nonequilibrium charge carriers in the contact field of a Bi-Bi2O3 system, oxygen adsorption, diffusion of cation vacancies, and Bi2O3 formation is proposed. |
