    Abstract

    Wurtzite CdS was grown by molecular beam epitaxy on CdTe(1̄1̄1̄)B and CdTe(111)A substrates. CdTe was grown on top of the CdS layers. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicates the existence of a thin reacted layer at the interface when CdTe(1̄1̄1̄)B is used as a substrate. No reaction is seen during growth of CdTe on CdS/CdTe(111)A. The valence band offset was measured by XPS and indicates a type-I alignment.
