HAXPES and XPS reference spectra of bulk semimetallic HgTe with Al Kα and Cr Kα monochromatic sources

Monochromatic Al Kα (1486.6 eV) and monochromatic Cr Kα (5414.8 eV) radiation sources were used to acquire x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) data on bulk semimetallic HgTe. The reported spectra include survey scans, high-resolution core-level spectra of Hg and Te, and x-ray-excited Auger transitions. These data provide reference binding and kinetic energy values and are intended to support future XPS and HAXPES studies of HgTe and related materials.
