- Angle-resolved valence band photoelectron spectra are collected from 1 X 1 ordered overlayers on I-2-saturated GaAs(001)-4 x 1, -c(2 X 8), and InAs(001)-c(8 x 2). A high-intensity dispersive surface state, located approximately 4.4 eV below the valence band maximum, is observed in each case. The state passes through an open lens in the projected bulk density of states and disperses symmetrically around the surface Brillouin zone edge. For all surfaces studied, the state is stronger when excited with the electric field polarized in the [110], as compared to the <(1)over bar 10>], azimuth. Since the state is independent of the termination of the initial surface, and since iodine bonds primarily to the outermost element, the state must result from delocalization of the electron states in the overlayer, and is not related to bonding with the substrate.

- The overlayer formed by the reaction of molecular iodine (I-2) with GaAs(001), InAs(001), and InSb(001) is investigated with synchrotron soft x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (SXPS) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Two components, separated by about 0.5 eV, are present in all of the I 4d SXPS spectra. At very low iodine coverages, the high binding energy (BE) component dominates. When the iodine coverage saturates, however, the two components have equal intensities. In contrast to GaAs and InAs, exposure of InSb(001)-c(8x2) to additional I-2 results in a further increase of the relative intensity of the low-BE component. STM images of I-2 covered InSb(001)-c(8x2) directly reveal the ordering in the overlayer. Islands are visible for submonolayer coverages, suggesting that adsorption occurs via a mobile precursor state. STM images feature occupies a 1x1 unit cell with the same spacing as bulk-terminated InSb(001). The other feature has a coverage of similar to 1/3 ML and is arranged in pairs oriented along the [110] azimuth.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The room-temperature reaction of Cl-2 with GaAs(001)-4x6, -c(2x8), and -c(4x4) surfaces is studied with synchrotron soft x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The chemical composition of the reacted surfaces is found to depend on the stoichiometry of the starting surface. In all cases, the reaction occurs stepwise, with Ga and As monochlorides formed prior to the dichlorides. The Ga-rich surface is initially more reactive than either of the As-rich surfaces and it forms more GaCl than the As-rich surfaces, which instead form more AsCl. The sticking coefficient for chlorine on GaAs(001) decays exponentially with coverage. A contribution from Cl atoms comprising the surface dichlorides is identified in the Cl 2p core-level spectra.

Reaction of I-2 with the (001) surfaces of GaAs, InAs, and InSb .1. Chemical interaction with the substrate

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- InAs(001)-c(8x2), InSb(001)-c(8x2), and several reconstructions of GaAs(001) are exposed at room temperature to iodine molecules (I-2). Low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and synchrotron soft x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (SXPS) are employed to study the surfaces as a function of I-2 dose and sample anneal. In the exposure range studied, GaAs and InAs become saturated with I-2, resulting in removal of the clean surface reconstruction and the formation of a very strong 1x1 LEED pattern. Iodine bonds primarily to the dominant elemental species present on the clean surface, whether it is a group-III or -V element. The InSb(001)-c(8x2) reconstruction is also removed by I-2 adsorption, and a strong 1x1 LEED pattern is formed. SXPS data, in conjunction with scanning tunneling microscopy images, however, reveal that InSb(001)-c(8x2) does not saturate at room temperature, but is instead etched with a preferential loss of In. Heating the iodine-covered group-III-rich InAs(001)-c(8x2) and InSb(001)-c(8x2) surfaces causes removal of the iodine overlayer and transformation to a group-V-rich reconstruction. When the iodine-covered As-rich GaAs(001)-c(2x8) surface is heated to remove iodine, however, the c(2x8) reconstruction is simply regenerated.
