Abstract
Synchrotron radiation ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (SRUPS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) have been applied to investigate oxygen adsorption on a cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) (1 1 1)A surface. The surface chemical composition and the surface oxidation process were monitored by recording the Te 3d, O 1s, Zn 2p, Cd 4d core level peaks, and the Cd MNN Auger peak. The CZT (1 1 1)A surface was effectively oxidized by dosing oxygen directly. The typical surface state of the clean CZT (1 1 1)A surface was identified. After oxygen exposure, this surface state disappeared and a signal due to the formation of O–CZT appeared. In addition, the work function of CZT decreased with the increasing oxygen exposure.
