摘要:
The energy band offsets play a critical role in the electrical properties of heterojunctions. We raise here serious questions regarding the precision and accuracy of the measured and calculated energy band offsets in HgCdTe heterostructures. We argue that the Anderson model prescription for the offsets is not useful and is not correct for abrupt heterojunctions when narrow band gap semiconductors are the constituents of the heterostructure. New values for the photoionization energy of Hg1−xCdxTe are given and the reliability of these values for determining the offset is discussed.
