Abstract

The position of the local and quasi-local states of metal atoms (alkali metals, group-III metals, the copper group) adsorbed on the surface of 6H-SiC are calculated within the framework of the extended Anderson-Halstane model of the semiconductor density of states. The results of these calculations are compared with the experimental data on Schottky barriers.
