Description

The electronic structure of thin insulating surface oxides has been investigated. Changes in the oxide charge and defect structure are accomplished by X-ray irradiation, variation in temperature and application of external electric fields. The data are consistent with shallow levels below the oxide conduction band minimum, deep levels above the oxide valence band maximum, and centres about midgap originating from absorbates at the oxide-vacuum interface and from positional and defect related disorder of the oxide
