Abstract
The properties of Schottky barriers formed by gold and aluminium on cleaved (110) surfaces of cadmium telluride have been investigated. Intermediate layers of contamination at the interface lead to significant changes in the nature of the contact. These effects are discussed in terms of the defect model of the interface.Keywords
