Abstract

Gd2O3 and HfO2 films exhibit photovoltaic charging that depends on temperature. The dielectric properties of the surface and concomitant photovoltaic surface charging increases following oxygen exposure under ultrahigh vacuum conditions suggesting that the surface conductivity plays a role in the surface photovoltage charging.
