A strategy is described for the passivation of single-crystal Hg 0.77 Cd 0.23 Te (MCT) surfaces which is based on the electrochemical generation of a Cd-admixed ZnTe native layer. The scheme is based on a four-step sequence wherein the MCT surface is first oxidized to generate surface (native) oxides. These oxides are reduced subsequently in a second (cathodic) step along with the reduction of Zn 2+ ions in the electrolyte and reaction with the surface TeO 2 to generate a nascent ZnTe layer. Two further steps serve to enrich the surface with ZnTe and to fine tune the composition of the ZnTe passivation layer
