abstract = {In this study, we investigated the electronic surface
structure of donor-doped strontium titanate. Homoepitaxial
0.5 $wt. \%$ donor-doped SrTiO3 thin films were analyzed
by in situ near ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy at a temperature of 770 K and oxygen pressures
up to 5 mbar. Upon exposure to an oxygen atmosphere at
elevated temperatures, we observed a rigid binding energy
shift of up to 0.6 eV towards lower binding energies with
respect to vacuum conditions for all SrTiO3 core level peaks
and the valence band maximum with increasing oxygen
pressure. The rigid shift is attributed to a relative shift
of the Fermi energy towards the valence band concomitant
with a negative charge accumulation at the surface,
resulting in a compensating electron depletion layer in the
near surface region. Charge trapping effects solely based on
carbon contaminants are unlikely due to their irreversible
desorption under the given experimental conditions. In
addition, simple reoxygenation of oxygen vacancies can be
ruled out as the high niobium dopant concentration dominates
the electronic properties of the material. Instead, the
negative surface charge may be provided by the formation of
cation vacancies or the formation of charged oxygen
adsorbates at the surface. Our results clearly indicate a
pO2-dependent surface space charge formation in donor-doped
SrTiO3 in oxidizing conditions.},
