Title: Chemical probes of charge transfer at semiconductor/liquid junctions. Technical report, January 16, 1985-January 15, 1986

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6269543

We attempted to obtain quantitative, non-mass-transfer limited current density vs. potential relationships for a select group of metallocenes. A reproducible procedure for poising the solution redox potential and measuring currents in stirred solutions was developed as well as software programs for data analysis and graphical representation. Even though both p-type and n-type InP electrodes exhibit regions of relative stability, it now appears that this material will not be suitable for detailed kinetic studies. The currents seem to be dominated by leakage phenomena and changes in the thickness of surface oxide which tend to obscure redox processes inherent to the semiconductor solution interface itself.
