For the VO x /R-Fe 2 O 3 (0001) system, hydration and hydrogen annealing have been carried out under ambient pressure. Vanadium in the hydrated oxide phase occupies two high-symmetry surface adsorption sites with distinct adsorption heights, which resembles the adsorption geometry of fully oxidized vanadium. Reduction by the hydrogen annealing enhanced the V overlayer ordering by relocating a portion of the disordered V to high-symmetry sites. The V atoms located closer to the substrate oxygen layer in the hydrated phase moved toward the substrate after hydrogen reduction, while the V in the higher adsorption site stayed at the same height. The different responses of two adsorption sites to the reduction process are discussed and related to activities of the two sites.

P-type GaAs/AlAs distributed Bragg mirrors have been grown using molecular beam epitaxy on (100) and (311)A GaAs substrates in a similar conditions. A comparison of I-V measurements shows that the resistance of the ungraded mirrors grown on the (311)A substrate is 35 times lower than those grown on the (100) substrate with similar structure. The effective barrier heights for both (311 )A and (1...
