摘要
Thin films of In2O3 have been grown on Y-stabilized ZrO2(100) by oxygen plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy with a substrate temperature of 650 degrees C. Ordered epitaxial growth was confirmed by high resolution transmission electron microscopy. The position of the valence band onset in the x-ray photoemission spectra of the epitaxial films is found to be inconsistent with the widely quoted value of 3.75 eV for the fundamental bandgap of In2O3 and suggests a revised value of 2.67 eV.
