Abstract

We have compared the photovoltaic charging of the (1 0 0) surface termination for Cu doped and undoped Li 2 B 4 O 7 . While the surface charging at the (1 0 0) surface of Li 2 B 4 O 7 is significantly greater than observed at (1 1 0) surface, the Cu doping plays a role in reducing the surface photovoltage effects. With Cu doping of Li 2 B 4 O 7 , the surface photovoltaic charging is much diminished at the (1 0 0) surface. The density of states observed with combined photoemission and inverse photoemission remains similar to that observed for the undoped material, except in the vicinity of the conduction band edge.
