Abstract

The chemisorption of O ₂ on nanoscale n-doped CdS semiconductors is computed in terms of a Wolkenstein isotherm coupled to the Schrödinger Poisson equation. Present numerical results show the dependence of the chemisorbed charge and the differential capacitance on oxygen partial pressure. A comparison against the classical Poisson-Boltzmann approach shows a higher chemisorbed charge in the quantum model, but a greater differential capacitance in the classical case.
