Deposition of Mn at room temperature onto atomically clean CdTe(110) surfaces yields atomic interdiffusion for metal coverages <3 angstroms with Mn atoms occupying cation sites within the surface and near-surface layers of the semiconductor. Synchrotron radiation photoemission studies with variable photoelectron escape depth indicate the formation of a relatively homogeneous semiconductor surface alloy. The highest Mn concentration observed in the alloy exceeds those obtainable with bulk crystal growth methods.
