摘要: Abstract The variation of the surface chemical composition nanostructures fabricated by local anodic oxidation (LAO) on epitaxial GaAs/AlAs/GaAs layered structures is investigated means laterally-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Our analysis evidences unexpected presence Al compounds located in topmost layers LAO oxide structures. We studied evolution such as a function X-ray exposure time (photon energy hν = 130 eV) and we found reduction amount Ga with respect to compounds.
