摘要
Various reconstructions on the GaN(0001) surface are studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Based on the comparison between the STM observations and first-principles total-energy calculations, we propose an adatom scheme for the basic 2 x 2 and 4 X 4 structures, and others as well. It is revealed that the 5 X 5 phase consists of a linear chain of unevenly displaced Ga adatoms along the [<11(2)over bar 0>] direction due to lattice relaxation. [S0031-9007(99)08862-6].
