- The growth of Bi on both the In-terminated (A) face and the As-terminated (B) face of InAs(1 1 1) has been investigated by low-energy electron diffraction, scanning tunnelling microscopy, and photoelectron spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation. The changes upon Bi deposition of the In 4d and Bi 5d5/2 photoelectron signals allow to get a comprehensive picture of the Bi/InAs(1 1 1) interface. From the early stage the Bi growth on the A face is epitaxial, contrary to that on the B face that proceeds via the formation of islands. Angle-resolved photoelectron spectra show that the electronic structure of a Bi deposit of ≈10 bi-layers on the A face is identical to that of bulk Bi, while more than ≈30 bi-layers are needed for the B face. Both bulk and surface electronic states observed are well accounted for by fully relativistic ab initio calculations performed using the one-step model of photoemission. These calculations are used to analyse the dichroic photoemission data recorded in the vicinity of the Fermi level around the Γ&bar; point of the Brillouin zone.

- Tin (Sn) induced (1 x 2) reconstructions on GaAs(100) and InAs(100) substrates have been studied by low energy electron diffraction (LEED), photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) and ab initio calculations. The comparison of measured and calculated STM images and surface core-level shifts shows that these surfaces can be well described with the energetically stable building blocks that consist of Sn-III dimers. Furthermore, a new Sn-induced (1 x 4) reconstruction was found. In this reconstruction the occupied dangling bonds are closer to each other than in the more symmetric (1 x 2) reconstruction, and it is shown that the (1 x 4) reconstruction is stabilized as the adatom size increases.

Ultrathin (1x2)-Sn layer on GaAs(100) and InAs(100) substrates : A catalyst for removal of amorphous surface oxides

- Amorphous surface oxides of III-V semiconductors are harmful in many contexts of device development. Using low-energy electron diffraction and photoelectron spectroscopy, we demonstrate that surface oxides formed at Sn-capped GaAs(100) and InAs(100) surfaces in air are effectively removed by heating. This Sn-mediated oxide desorption procedure results in the initial well-defined Sn-stabilized (1x2) surface even for samples exposed to air for a prolonged time. Based on ab initio calculations we propose that the phenomenon is due to indirect and direct effects of Sn. The Sn-induced surface composition weakens oxygen adsorption.

Bi ultra-thin crystalline films on InAs(111)A and B substrates: a combined core-level and valence-band angle-resolved and dichroic photoemission study

The changes upon Bi deposition of the In 4d and Bi 5d(5/2) photoelectron signals allow to get a comprehensive picture of the Bi/InAs(111) interface. From the early stage the Bi growth on the A face is epitaxial, contrary to that on the B face that proceeds via the formation of islands. Angle-resolved photoelectron spectra show that the electronic structure of a Bi deposit of approximate to 10 bi-layers on the A face is identical to that of bulk Bi, while more than approximate to 30 bi-layers are needed for the B face. Both bulk and surface electronic states observed are well accounted for by fully relativistic ab initio calculations performed using the one-step model of photoemission. These calculations are used to analyse the dichroic photoemission data recorded in the vicinity of the Fermi level around the (Gamma) over bar point of the Brillouin zone.

- It is demonstrated that it is possible to investigate details of the electronic structure of an internal atomic monolayer using soft-x-ray-emission spectroscopy. The local and partial density of states of one monolayer and three monolayers of Si, embedded deep below a GaAs(001) surface, was extracted. Clear differences to the density of states for bulk Si were observed.

- GaMnAs layers with Mn contents from 0.05% to 7% were grown by low temperature molecular beam epitaxy. At substrate temperatures lower than 300 degrees C and in this composition range a uniform ternary GaMnAs compound can be grown without MnAs precipitation. Reflection high energy electron diffraction intensity oscillations recorded during GaMnAs growth were used to calibrate the composition of the GaMnAs films with high accuracy (better than 0.1%). Films containing more than 1% Mn exhibit a ferromagnetic phase transition with Curie temperatures from a few up to 70 K depending on the composition and other growth parameters. In contrast to previous reports we have observed this transition also in the case of layers grown at very low substrate temperatures (below 300 degrees C).

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Using synchrotron based photoelectron spectroscopy (GaMn) AsGaAs interfaces prepared in situ by low temperature molecular beam epitaxy have been studied. No band offset between the two systems is observed. The continuous transition is explained as an effect of dilution of the (GaMn)As by GaAs adlayers.

- A study of the electronic structure of ultrathin AlAs layers buried in GaAs(100) and their interfaces is presented. Al L2,3 soft-X-ray-emission (SXE) spectra from the AlAs layers were measured. The spectra show distinct thickness-dependent features, which are reproduced using ab initio calculations.

Stationary and dispersive features in resonant inelastic soft X-ray scattering at the Ge 3p resonances

- Resonant inelastic soft X-ray scattering at the 3p resonances in crystalline Ge is presented. Both stationary and dispersive features are observed in a wide energy range above as well as below the ionization limits. These observations are in agreement with theoretical predictions based on a two-step model where the initially excited electron has no influence on the emission step. Excess population of states in the conduction band is found, and discussed in terms of attosecond electron dynamics. (c) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
