摘要
InP and GaAs(001)-(2 x 4) reconstructed surfaces prepared by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) mere studied by ultrahigh-vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy (UHV-STM) in combination with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It was found that the missing dimers and their kink defects on InP have remarkably different properties from those of GaAs. Based on this finding, a new missing-dimer structure is proposed for InP (2 x 4) surfaces. As to the kink defects, no correlation was found on InP between the kink defect density and the Si doping level, although the XPS peaks clearly showed existence of Fermi level pinning. Thus, the model proposed recently by Pashley ct al. does not apply to the InP surface.
