Abstract: | The structural ordering of surface atoms during Si deposition on singular and vicinal GaAs(001) surfaces has been studied by reflectance difference (RD) spectroscopy using the difference function between the Si-covered and the bare surface. In dependence on the Si coverage the difference spectra correspond to RD spectra of the bare Si(001)-(1×2) or of the As-terminated Si(001):As(2×1) surface. This finding and the behaviour of RD transients recorded at 3.8 eV photon energy allows to define a (3×2)α phase with Si dimers in the top layer and Ga dimers in the third layer, and a (3×2)β phase with As-dimer rows on top of Si in the second layer. |
