Reconstructions of GaN(0001) and (000 ) Surfaces: Ga-rich Metallic Structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reconstructions of GaN(0001) and (000 ) surfaces are studied by scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, by electron diffraction, by auger electron spectroscopy, and using first-principles theory. Attention is focused on Ga-rich reconstructions for each surface, which are found to have metallic character involving significant overlap between Ga valence electrons. The electron counting rule is thus violated for these surfaces, but they nonetheless form minimum energy structures.

متن کاملDetermination of Wurtzite GaN Lattice Polarity Based on Surface Reconstruction
We identify two categories of reconstructions occurring on wurtzite GaN surfaces, the first associated with the N-face, (000 ), and the second associated with the Ga-face, (0001). Not only do these two categories of reconstructions have completely different symmetries, but they also have different temperature dependence. It is thus demonstrated that surface reconstructions can be used to identi...

متن کاملRecent developments in surface studies of GaN and AlN
Recent developments in the structural analysis of GaN and AlN surfaces are reviewed, and the implications of these structures for molecular beam epitaxial growth are discussed. The GaN(0001), AlN(0001), and GaN ) 0 1 10 ( surfaces are all found to be terminated by metallic layers containing approximately one bilayer of Ga or Al atoms. However, in contrast to GaN(0001) where the Ga-bilayer exist...
متن کاملSurface structures and growth kinetics of InGaN(0001) grown by molecular beam epitaxy
The surface structures and growth kinetics of InGaN(0001) are studied. It is well known that during molecular beam epitaxy GaN surfaces undergo a smooth to rough transition when the growth condition is switched from Ga-rich to N-rich. It is found here that indium atoms have only small effect on this transition when deposited on GaN(000 ), but when deposited on GaN(0001) the indium acts as a sur...
