Almost pinning-free bismuth/Ge and /Si interfaces

In this work, we investigated the band alignment at bismuth (Bi)/germanium (Ge) and Bi/silicon (Si) interfaces to understand the mechanism of strong Fermi level pinning (FLP) at element metal/Ge and/Si interfaces. Bi/Ge and/Si interfaces exhibit almost ideal alignment deviating from the trend of str...
