Preferred Label : flat band potential (at a semiconductor/solution interphase);
IUPAC definition : If effects of surface states are negligible, Δ φ sc, the potential drop associated
with the space charge in the semiconductor, vanishes as the charge on the semiconductor
becomes zero. The potential of the semiconductor corresponding to this condition is
the flat band potential, which plays the same role as the potential of zero charge
for metals.;
