Abstract
The (0001) surface of layered InSe semiconductor crystals has been studied experimentally using X−ray photoelectron spectroscopy and theoretically using the electron density function method with periodical boundary conditions. We found that the structure of the surface atomic layer and the state of the atoms in that layer have but little differences from the structure and state of the atoms in the bulk. The InSe (0001) surface is resistant to long−term air exposure thus making this material promising as a reference for electron spectroscopy composition studies.
