Determination of heterojunction band offsets between CdS bulk and PbS quantum dots using photoelectron spectroscopy
- Department of Nanomechatronics, Korea University of Science and Technology, Daejeon 305-350 (Korea, Republic of)
Photoelectron spectroscopy was used to measure the energy discontinuity in the valence band (ΔE{sub V}) of a CdS/PbS quantum dot (QD) heterojunction for which the PbS QD layer was deposited using solution based layer-by-layer dip coating method on top of RF magnetron sputtered CdS. A value of ΔE{sub V} = 1.73 eV was obtained using the Cd 3d and Pb 4f energy levels as references. Given the band gap energies of the CdS and PbS-QD layers, the conduction band offset ΔE{sub C} was determined to be 0.71 eV.
