摘要: The GaAs(100) surfaces chemically treated in HCl-isopropanol solution and annealed vacuum were studied by means of Auger electron spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron high-resolution energy-loss spectra, Low-energy diffraction (LEED). Chemical treatment sample transfer into ultrahigh performed under nitrogen atmosphere. removes gallium arsenic oxides from the surface, with about 2 monolayers excess being left on it. residual carbon contaminations around 0.2–0.4 ML consisted hydrocarbon molecules. These removed surface together annealing at 300–420 °C. With increased temperature, a sequence six reconstructions identified LEED: (1×1), (2×4)/c(2×8), (2×6), (3×6), (4×1) c(8×2) temperature intervals 250–400, 420–480, 480–500, 500–520, 520–560 560–600 °C, respectively. All irreversible. structural properties prepared found to be similar those obtained molecular-beam epitaxy-growth decapping As-capped epitaxial layers.
