Arsenic dimers and multilayers on (001)GaAs surfaces in atmospheric pressure organometallic chemical vapor deposition

Abstract
Arsenic dimers and multilayers are shown to exist on (001)GaAs surfaces under atmospheric pressure (AP) organometallic chemical vapor deposition (OMCVD) conditions. We obtained reflectance-difference spectra from surfaces in AP H2 that are equivalent to those obtained from the (2×4) and disordered-c(4×4) reconstructions prepared in ultrahigh vacuum by molecular beam epitaxy. Implications for models of OMCVD growth.
