Abstract

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic measurements of oxidation of the AglnTe2 surface at different temperatures are reported. The results are analyzed quantitatively. The oxidized surface was shown to have TeO2, Te, and In2O3. The presence of In2O is also identified. The experimental results are explained on the basis of the heat of formation.
