Abstract

The surface termination of In₄Se₃(001) and the interface of this layered trichalcogenide, with Au, was examined using x-ray photoemission spectroscopy. Low energy electron diffraction indicates that the surface is highly crystalline, but suggests an absence of C_2v mirror plane symmetry. The surface termination of the In₄Se₃(001) is found, by angle-resolved x-ray photoemission spectroscopy, to be In, which is consistent with the observed Schottky barrier formation found with this n-type semiconductor. Transistor measurements confirm earlier results from photoemission, suggesting that In₄Se₃(001) is an n-type semiconductor, so that Schottky barrier formation with a large work function metal, such as Au, is expected. The measured low carrier mobilities could be the result of the contacts and would be consistent with Schottky barrier formation.
