摘要: We investigate the chemical properties of nanostructures fabricated by local anodic oxidation (LAO) on epitaxial GaAs∕AlAs∕GaAs layers. find evidence for presence Al compounds located in topmost surface layers LAO structures. Our results cannot be explained within framework commonly accepted mechanism that describes growth oxides terms diffusion oxygen-rich ions through growing oxide. A more general explains our experimental findings is proposed.
