Silicon on GaN(0001) and (0001) Surfaces
Surface reconstructions and adatom kinetics of silicon on GaN(0001) and (000 ) surfaces are studied by scanning tunneling microscopy, electron diffraction and first-principles calculations. In the low silicon coverage regime a 2×2 structure is observed, and is interpreted in terms of a model consisting of a Ga adatom on a monolayer of 3Ga + 1 Si and a SiGa atom in the third layer. For high sili...
متن کاملInversion of wurtzite GaN(0001) by exposure to magnesium
Magnesium incorporation during the molecular beam epitaxy growth of wurtzite GaN is found to invert the Ga-polar (0001) face to the N-polar face. The polarity is identified based on the two different sets of reconstructions seen on the film prior to and after about 1 monolayer Mg exposure. The inversion boundary is seen to lie on the (0001) plane from transmission electron microscopy images, an...
متن کاملIndium-induced changes in GaN„0001... surface morphology
First-principles calculations of the energetics of the In-terminated GaN~0001!, (0001I ), (101I 1), and (1011) surfaces indicate that In has a substantial effect on the relative energies of formation of these surfaces. Indium-induced changes in the surface energetics enable the formation of inverted hexagonal pyramid defects having (101I 1) facets at the termination of threading defects on the ...
متن کاملElectronic states of oxidized GaN(0001) surfaces
The structure and electronic properties of oxidized (0001) surfaces of GaN grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy are investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy, and first-principles theory. For oxygen exposure at room temperature an amorphous gallium oxide layer is found to form, resulting in a distribution of midgap electronic states exten...
متن کاملGallium adsorption on „0001... GaN surfaces
We study the adsorption behavior of Ga on ~0001! GaN surfaces combining experimental specular reflection high-energy electron diffraction with theoretical investigations in the framework of a kinetic model for adsorption and ab initio calculations of energy parameters. Based on the experimental results we find that for substrate temperatures and Ga fluxes typically used in molecular-beam epitax...
