Abstract
We report here the preparation of high quality single crystal of PdTe(0001). Various characterizations show good quality of the sample formed in single phase with large sample size suitable for various spectroscopic measurements. We have carried out hard x-ray photoemission spectroscopic (HAXPES) measurements and found interesting results. While Te core level spectrum shows asymmetry as expected in a metallic system, PdTe, the Pd core spectrum does not show such features indicating element selective behavior in the photoemission spectra. We also observe satellites in the core level spectra providing evidence for finite electron correlation induced effect in the electronic structure. Surface and bulk electronic structure is found to be similar in this system.
