Description
The contents of this volume stem from an international training workshop conducted by UNESCO in 1986 at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, on the Electrochemistry of the Semiconductor-Electrolyte Interface and Photoelectrochemical Solar Cells. The volume is the first publication of its kind to provide such a comprehensive overview on semiconductor electrochemistry. It will be an invaluable aid to a wide spectrum of electrochemists, solid state physicists and material scientists needing basic background information on semiconductor physics, semiconductor electrochemistry and for the preparation of semiconductor films. The first part of the volume gives a current introduction to photoelectrochemistry, discussing some of the outstanding achievements accomplished in recent years. An extensive review of the physics of semiconductors and pn junctions includes the band model of semiconductors, the optical effects, surface states and insulators. This is followed by a chapter on techniques for the characterization of semiconductors, focussing on the characterization of the interface in photoelectrochemical cells using the dielectric properties.
