I am looking for a book that explains how a Schottky barrier is formed at a semiconductor metal interface. I have found the attached diagram in a source that i cannot see the references for. Does anyone know of a book containing such a diagram and an explanation of the formation of a Schottky barrier?

Thank you.

A little googling shows that it comes from this book: http://books.google.com/books?id=yqGDvRxUShMC&source=gbs_navlinks_s (see page 22)
