Abstract
The electronic structure and surface interactions of vapor-deposited Cu on single-crystal and polycrystalline were studied using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results are compared to the interface. Changes in the satellite emission indicate that the Cu adatoms do not disrupt as extensively as . However, deposition of Cu induces changes in the Bi environment in the superconductor, and surface segregation of Bi metal was observed at high coverages. Core-level attenuation results suggest minimal out-diffusion of oxygen, in contrast with what is observed for .
