ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor comprises a compound (A) adsorbed on a surface of the semiconductor, the compound (A) having at least one lone electron pair and substantially not undergoing in oxidation-reduction reactions, wherein the presence of the compound (A) negatively changes a flat band potential of the semiconductor with reference to that when the compound is absent.
