Abstract
Ge and Si single crystals were cleaved inside electrolytes of ferrocene in tetrabutyl ammonium perchlorate and ethanol. and the stable surface barrier heights measured from photocurrent-potential plots. When hydroxymethylferrocene (HMF) was added, the Ge barrier height reduced from 0.19 to 0.14eV, but Si was unchanged at 0.68 eV. The results are interpreted as due to inability of HMF to dislodge ferrocene from the Si surfaces, but ability to replace it on Ge surfaces; the packing density of the molecules is concluded to be lower than for ferrocene.
