An X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Reflection High Energy Electron Diffraction (RHEED) study of interfaces between B2O3-0.5Na(2)O and InSe has been performed as a function of the thickness of the InSe film. From RHEED and XPS, the InSe film grows mainly in a two-dimensional mode along the smooth polished berate substrate and the interface between InSe and berate glass can be considered as abrupt. The RHEED patterns indicate an in-plane misorientation of the domains. The semi-quantitative analysis of the intensities of photoelectron peaks leads to substrate attenuation and deposit uptake curves. They follow mainly an exponential law and allow an estimation of the escape depth of the photoelectrons in agreement with the calculated ones and with the flux determined from interferometry measurements although a good definition and determination of the monolayer thickness is required. Nevertheless, the phenomenological average 'monolayer' defined by Seah and Dench agrees with the experimental estimation of the escape depth, even in the case of these strong anisotropic materials. We suggest that a sodium insertion in the layered compound is plausible. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
