摘要：

In situ scanning tunneling microscopy and time-resolved reflection high-energy electron diffraction measurements were performed to study the nitridation process of the As-terminated GaAs(001)-(2x4) surface by using electron cyclotron resonance plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy. We report the real-space atomic structure of the coherently strained (3x3)-ordered GaN monolayer on GaAs(001) after a limited-exposure nitridation process and the atomically smooth morphology of this nitrided surface. The unique (3x3) phase is found consisting of nitrogen dimers and a regular array of missing nitrogen rows in both [<(1)over bar 10>] and [110] directions. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
