11. Similar experiments performed on the Zn/ZnSe(001) have shown the independence of the SBH with respect to the ZnSe surfaces. See: S. Rubini, E. Pelucchi, M. Lazzarino, D. Kumar, A. Franciosi, C. Berthod, N. Binggeli, and A. Baldereschi, Phys. Rev. B 63, 235307 (2001).
12. Only 0.25 eV of reduction in SBH has been observed for Au/ZnSe(001) junction fabricated on 1 × 1 ZnSe surface (terminated by 2-3 ML Se) as opposed to the 2 × 1 surface reconstruction. See: W. Chert, P. Soukiassian, P.S. Mangat, J. Gaines, C. Ponzoni, and D. Olego, J. Vac. Sci. Technol. B B12, 2639 (1994).

19. For all the measured Fe coverage the Fermi-edge position is found to be at the same position. Moreover, we have monitored the core levels and Fermi-edge positions from 180 °C to room temperature of the 0.4 ML Fe-coverage sample without detecting any shift as suggested in Ref. 15.
20. The Fe/ZnSe interface does not present surface photovoltage effect such as the one observer for Ag grown on GaP. M. Alonso, R. Cimino, and K Horn, Phys. Rev. Lett. 64, 1947 (1990).
