摘要
We have investigated Ga- and As-terminated GaAs(001) surfaces with different degrees of sulfur coverage by ab initio local density and GW quasi-particle band structure calculations. We use supercell geometries, norm-conserving pseudopotentials in separable form and Gaussian orbital basis sets. Configurations containing Ga-S bonds at the surface are found to be preferred over configurations containing As-S bonds. The most stable structure consists of a Ga-terminated surface covered with a full monolayer of sulfur and simultaneous substitution of every second As atom in the substrate layer by S. This configuration is fully passivated in agreement with experiment. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
