Abstract

There is no doubt that the surface properties of organic semiconductors are extremely important both for understanding the processes taking place at the boundary of separation of two phases and for more complete understanding of the processes taking place in the bulk of the semiconductor. The influence of the state of the surface and the processes taking place at the surface on the bulk properties is particularly strong when the semiconductors have a low intrinsic conductivity [1]. In the adsorption of gases on the surface of a semiconductor it has been found experimentally that some molecules are capable of increasing the concentration of electrons in the surface layer and others of decreasing it. The process of adsorption may be considered in two ways: either as a creation of donor (acceptor) impurities at the surface [2, 3] or as the formation of charge-transfer complexes [4].
