X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic measurements of oxidation of the AgI
nTe2 surface at different temperatures are reported. The results are a
nalyzed quantitatively. The oxidized surface was shown to have TeO2, T
e, and In2O3. The presence of In2O is also identified. The experimenta
l results are explained on the basis of the heat of formation.
