The clean and ordered surfaces of CdZnTe (111)B grown by the Bridgman method were obtained by Ar ion bombardment and thermal annealing in situ in an ultrahigh vacuum. The surface atomic structures of CdZnTe (111)B after annealing at different temperature were observed by low-energy electron diffraction (LEED). The valence band and work function of CdZnTe (111)B surfaces were determined by synchrotron radiation photoemission spectroscopy. The order of CdZnTe (111)B after annealing at 350 °C will worsen, and the (111)B-(2 × 2) local reconstruction will be formed. The work function of CdZnTe (111)B after annealing at 350 °C is 0.8 eV higher than that of CdZnTe (111)B-(1 × 1), and the local reconstruction may be induced by Te adatoms on top of the ideal truncation.

We report the electronic structure of the interface of the ultrafilm Fe film with the O -terminated ZnO (000-1) polar surface studied by synchrotron radiation photoemission. It was found that Fe grows in a Stranski–Krastanov mode. The turning point of the growth mode was at the Fe coverage of ~2 Å. At low coverage, about 1 ML (monolayer) of iron (ca. 1.5 Å) was oxidized by the terminative oxygen atoms on the ZnO (000-1) surface. Analysis of the valence band and the Fe 3 p photoemission spectra indicates that below 2 Å coverage, only Fe 2+ species could be detected at the Fe / ZnO interface, after that the formation of a metallic iron overlayer was observed. A sharp Fermi edge appeared at 5.1 Å coverage, indicating the formation of the bulk metallic Fe film. Furthermore, work function of the sample decreased to a minimum of 4.5 eV at 0.2 Å Fe , and then to 4.9 eV with the formation of a dipole layer at the interface.
