Abstract:

A theoretical approach is presented for vibrational-to-electronic energy transfer at a semiconductor surface due to an impinging polar molecule. Results for the HCl InSb and HCl PbSe systems under thermal conditions indicate transition probabilities in the range 0.1 to 10, which can be readily observed by experimental measurements of the semiconductor electrical conductivity.
