摘要：
We have shown that the contact potential of i-GaAs/i-AlGaAs heterostructures can be measured using Kelvin probe force microscopy (KFM). The measured contact potential difference between GaAs and AlGaAs increases monotonically with increasing AlAs mole fraction. This dependence does not agree with the model for the ideal interface where the measured contact potential is dominated by the Fermi level which lies in the midgap of bulk materials. The results are explained based on the model of the alignment of charge neutrality level during heterostructure formation.
