Surface structure determination of the cleavage faces of CdSe via low-energy positron diffraction

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6676781
Low energy positron diffraction intensities were measured for positron beams from CdSe(1010) and fourteen beams for CdSe(1120). These were compared with calculated intensities for bond-length- conserving relaxed surface structures for both surfaces. Using an R-factor methodology the best-fit structures were obtained for these surfaces corresponding to local planar tilt angles of ..omega.. = 15 +-5/degree/ for CdSe(1010) and ..omega.. = 27 +-7/degree/ for CdSe(1120). Both results are in excellent correspondence withe predicted structures based on tight-binding total-energy minimization calculations. 21 refs., 5 figs., 2 tabs.
