ZnxNi1-xO samples with a compositional range 0 < × ≤ 0.3 were synthesized via thermal dissolution in air and their surface characterized with Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). AES analysis shows the surface composition to be comparable to the bulk composition. These systems are interesting as they place zinc in an octahedral environment which is unusual for zinc normally preferring a tetrahedral environment. This submission contains survey spectra for the homogeneous solid solutions, Zn0.05Ni0.95O, Zn0.1Ni0.9O, Zn0.2Ni0.8O, Zn0.3Ni0.7O and for pure NiO and ZnO. All samples have the rocksalt crystal structure except ZnO which has the Wurtzite crystal structure.
