M. Dimarco et al., OPTOELECTRONIC MODULATION SPECTROSCOPY (OEMS) - A NEW TOOL FOR DEVICEINVESTIGATIONS, Materials science & engineering. B, Solid-state materials for advanced technology, 20(1-2), 1993, pp. 225-231
The principle of optoelectronic modulation spectroscopy (OEMS) is expl
ained. Examples of its use in three different measurement modes are de
scribed and it is shown that the energy locations of mid-gap bulk and
interface states can be ascertained when the sub-band-gap admittance a
nd depletion modes are used together; the band with easiest electrical
communication is also revealed for each state. Using super-band-gap r
adiation allows spectral features associated with resonant electron st
ates to be observed directly without the need to distort the band stru
cture.
