The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the surface structures of the clean
surfaces of tetrahedrally coordinated semiconductors within the context of identifying the …

This review describes advances in understanding the structural, electronic, and chemical
properties of clean low-index semiconductor surfaces during the first decade following the …

A definition of the electric polarization of an insulating crystalline solid is given in terms of the
centers of charge of the Wannier functions of the occupied bands. The change of this …

Semiconductor Surfaces and Interfaces deals with structural and electronic properties of
semiconductor surfaces and interfaces. The first part introduces the general aspects of …

Reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) is the analytical tool of choice for
characterizing thin films during growth by molecular beam epitaxy, since it is very sensitive …

The book describes RHEED (reflection high-energy electron diffraction) used as a tool for
crystal growth. New methods using RHEED to characterize surfaces and interfaces during …

This paper reviews the recent experimental findings on the atomic structures on the (001)
surface of GaAs. We systematically studied the structure and composition of the GaAs (001) …

Reflectance-difference spectroscopy (RDS) is employed to study in situ the (4× 2),(1× 6),(4×
6),(3× 1),(2× 4)-α,(2× 4)-β,(2× 4)-γ, c (4× 4), and d (4× 4) reconstructions of (001) GaAs …

Scanning tunneling microscope (STM) images together with reflection high-energy electron
diffraction (RHEED) showed for the first time convincingly that the molecular-beam …

We report first-principles total-energy calculations for the GaAs (001) surface. Our results
indicate that the 2× 4 reconstruction corresponds to the β2 (2× 4) structure, which exhibits …
