A comprehensive surface photovoltage investigation of the SrTiO3 surface — •Elke Beyreuther, Andreas Thiessen, and Lukas M. Eng — Institut für Angewandte Photophysik, Technische Universität Dresden, D-01062 Dresden, Germany

In the past, surface photovoltage (SPV) analysis has been successfully applied to derive the electronic defect status of a number of wide-bandgap semiconductor surfaces. Here, the method is applied to the model perovskite strontium titanate, whose SPV phenomena are comprehensively studied over seven decades of excitation-light intensity. The SPV was recorded by a Kelvin probe setup as a function of wavelength in order to extract the energetic positions of electronic surface states within the bandgap. At selected wavelengths addressing distinct surface states, SPV transients were measured as a function of light intensity and temperature. Several models known from the literature were used to estimate and cross check surface state parameters such as surface state densities, capture cross sections for photons and electrons, and the surface band bending in the dark and under illumination. In contrast to other wide-bandgap materials, SPV transients of SrTiO3 exhibit highly complex shapes, i.e. they (i) show signatures of multiple carrier transitions, (ii) mixtures of surface and bulk contributions, as well as (iii) both ex- and intrinsic SPV processes.
