Abstract
Photostimulated surface transformations of 10-nm CdTe film in air are studied by XPS and STM techniques. According to XPS data together with results of previous studies after UV laser-irradiation, formation of CdTeO3 and TeO2 phases was observed. STM images show the transformatio n of initially smooth CdTe film into the number of small hillocks, rel ated to newly formed Cd particles.
