An X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study on NiO/SnO2 and SnO/SnO2 heterojunctions — •Fabian Michel, Benedikt Kramm, Martin Becker, Robert Hamann, Angelika Polity, Detlev M. Hofmann, and Martin Eickhoff — Justus-Liebig Universität Giessen, Germany
The energy band diagrams of different pn-heterojunctions were evaluated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The heterojunctions were fabricated by ion beam sputtering. The valence band and conduction band discontinuities of NiO/SnO2 and SnO/SnO2 were investigated using the common method of E.A. Kraut1 and J.R. Waldrop2 considering the position of the different core level signals and especially the related energy difference in the vicinity of the heterointerface. Using depth profiling via in situ Ar+ ion etching we made a qualitative analysis of the interfacial chemical state by estimating the modified Auger parameter and the relative concentrations of the photoelectron signals. We also investigated the challenging Ni 2p signal by decomposing the line structure and the satellite structure. Results will be discussed with respect to other metal oxide heterojunctions.
