The study of the evolution of the conduction band in dense gases and supercritical fluids near the critical point has been complicated by a lack of precise experimental measurements. Both photoemission from an electrode immersed in the fluid and field ionization of a molecule doped into the fluid have been used to probe solvent density effects on the energy of an excess electron as a function of fluid number density and temperature. In this perspective, we present recent experimental results that show a strong critical point effect on the minimum conduction band energy near the critical density and temperature of a fluid. We also discuss the recent development of a new theoretical model that advances our understanding of the density and temperature dependence of the conduction band minimum in near critical point fluids.

ABSTRACTWe have developed a novel experimental technique for accurately determining band offsets in semiconductor quantum wells (QW). It is based on the fact that the ground state heavy- hole (HH) band energy is more sensitive to the depth of the valence band well than the light-hole (LH) band energy. Further, it is well known that as a function of the well width, Lz, the energy difference between the LH and HH excitons in a lattice matched, unstrained QW system experiences a maximum. Calculations show that the position, and more importantly, the magnitude of this maximum is a sensitive function of the valence band offset, Qy, which determines the depth of the valence band well. By fitting experimentally measured LH-HH splittings as a function of Lz, an accurate determination of band offsets can be derived. We further reduce the experimental uncertainty by plotting LH-HH as a function of HH energy (which is a function of Lz ) rather than Lz itself, since then all of the relevant parameters can be precisely determined from absorption spectroscopy alone. Using this technique, we have derived the conduction band offsets for several material systems and, where a consensus has developed, have obtained values in good agreement with other determinations.
