Abstract

We have investigated the stability of O-polar ZnO (000 1̄) - (1×1) surfaces with photoemission spectroscopy and low-energy electron diffraction. We present direct evidence of quasi-two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) formation (N2D ≤2× 10¹³ cm^-2) at the O-face from our angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy studies. These findings are discussed in terms of hydrogenation of the O-face by chemisorptions process and the energetic location of the charge-neutrality level of ZnO. Our results reveal insight into the role of hydrogen in forming the quasi-2DEG and stabilizing the O-polar nonreconstructed surface.
