Abstract
It is shown by IR spectroscopy that the thermal oxidation of (NiO + PbO)/InP structures leads to the formation of nickel and lead polyphosphates and indium ortho- and metaphosphates. The nickel phosphates may then gradually transform into diphosphates, depending on the oxidation temperature, whereas the lead phosphates undergo no changes.
