Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy investigation of the interaction of Te with Zn (0001)

Abstract

We give photoelectron spectroscopy results (hν?21.2 eV) on 1/4 and 1 Te monolayers deposited onto the (0001) Zn face. It is shown that a surface compound is formed whose density of states shows an increasing similarity to that of bulk amorphous ZnTe when the Te coverage increases. No ordered structures due to Te deposition have been detected with LEED.
