Variation of the Fermi level and the Electrostatic Force of a Metallic Nanoparticle upon Colliding with an Electrode

Hubert Girault, Pekka Eero Peljo

When a metallic nanoparticle (NP) comes in close contact with an electrode, its Fermi level equilibrates with that of the electrode if their separation is less than the cut-off distance for electron tunnelling. In the absence of chemical reactions in solut ...

A new constituent of electrostatic energy in semiconductors

Jean-Michel Sallese

The concept of electric energy is revisited in detail for semiconductors. We come to the conclusion that the main relationship used to calculate the energy related to the penetration of the electric field in semiconductors is missing a fundamental term. Fo ...
