As overlayer on GaAs(110) studied with photoemission

• As-terminated GaAs(110) surfaces were prepared on ex situ cleaved substrates by molecular-beam epitaxy. The surface stoichiometry was controlled by postgrowth As deposition. Photoemission from a surface covered with a monolayer As was investigated in detail using synchrotron radiation. Two different surface components were found in core-level spectra, which are interpreted as due to adatoms bonding to the surface anions and cations. In the valence-band spectra several surface states were identified, in analogy with previous reports on the isoelectronic Sb/GaAs(110) system. The polarization dependence is not the same, however, which leads us to the conclusion that the adlayer bonding mechanisms are different in the two cases.
