Abstract
No measurable adsorption of oxygen, nitrogen, or carbon monoxide was found for any of the clean surfaces produced. Water vapor had a very low sticking coefficient of the order of . The results are discussed in terms of the chemical bonding of bismuth telluride. It is concluded that the atoms on cleavage faces are in a saturated-bond condition.
