Surface bulk differences in a conventional superconductor, ZrB(12)

We studied the electronic structure of a conventional superconductor, ZrB(12) using high resolution x-photoemission spectroscopy and single crystalline samples. Experimental results with different bulk sensitivity reveals boron deficiency and different valence states of Zr at the surface relative to the bulk. Signature of a satellite features is observed in the Zr core level spectra corresponding to the bulk of the material suggesting importance of electron correlation among the conduction electrons in the bulk while the surface appears to be uncorrelated. These results provide an insight in fabricating devices based on such superconductors.
