Cadmium oxide (CdO) is a transparent conducting oxide, with potential applications in solar cells and gas sensing. In addition it exhibits interesting surface electronic properties including electron accumulation resulting in a quantized 2D electron gas (Q2DEG), despite this there have so far been no studies of the surface structure of CdO. The surface structure of CdO(100) has been determined by quantitative low-energy electron diffraction LEED I(V) analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. An analysis of LEED I(V) spectra from the CdO(100) surface has been performed by comparing measured intensities with data calculated using an automated CLEED program package. All DFT calculations have been performed with the CASTEP code (Cambridge Sequential Total Energy Package) using a plane-wave pseudopotential formalism.
