Experimentally observed SF's [from M. Schluter, Phys. Rev. B 17, 5044 (1978)] are plotted against the inverse of the dielectric constant of the semiconductor, as suggested by the division-by-epsilon model of Schottky barrier height formation. The solid line and the dashed lines correspond to eit = einf and eit = 2 einf, respectively. Note that the agreement between theory and experiment is poor for either case.
