The intrinsic CuInSe2 surface is found to be largely passivated in terms of electronic defect levels in the band-gap region. However, surface oxidation leads to an overall high density of defect levels in conjunction with a considerable net surface dipole, which persists even after oxide removal. Yet, a subsequent annealing under vacuum restores the initial condition. Such oxidation/reduction cycles are reversible for many times providing robust control of the surface and interface properties in these materials. Based on ab initio simulations, a mechanism where oxygen dissociatively adsorbs and subsequently diffuses to a subsurface site is proposed as the initial step of the observed dipole formation. Our results emphasize the relevance of oxidation-induced dipole effects at the thin film surface and provide a comprehensive understanding toward passivation strategies of these surfaces."}],"author":[{"last_name":"Elizabeth","full_name":"Elizabeth, Amala","first_name":"Amala"},{"last_name":"Sahoo","full_name":"Sahoo, Sudhir K.","first_name":"Sudhir K."},{"last_name":"Lockhorn","full_name":"Lockhorn, David","first_name":"David"},{"full_name":"Timmer, Alexander","last_name":"Timmer","first_name":"Alexander"},{"last_name":"Aghdassi","full_name":"Aghdassi, Nabi","first_name":"Nabi"},{"first_name":"Helmut","full_name":"Zacharias, Helmut","last_name":"Zacharias"},{"full_name":"Kühne, Thomas","last_name":"Kühne","id":"49079","first_name":"Thomas"},{"first_name":"Susanne","last_name":"Siebentritt","full_name":"Siebentritt, Susanne"},{"full_name":"Mirhosseini, Hossein","id":"71051","last_name":"Mirhosseini","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6179-1545","first_name":"Hossein"},{"full_name":"Mönig, Harry","last_name":"Mönig","first_name":"Harry"}]}
