Preferred Label : surface states;
IUPAC definition : Energy levels localized in the surface region of semiconductors, which do not bear
any direct relation to the bulk energy distribution, but which can exchange electrons
with the bulk. In such a case a space charge may arise even when σ (the free charge
density) is zero, i.e. σ σ sc σ ss, where σ sc is the space charge density and
σ ss is the charge density associated with the surface states.;
