Abstract:
The optical anisotropy of differently reconstructed GaAs(001) surfaces has been analysed both theoretically and experimentally. The atomic structures and RAS spectra are calculated from first principles for the As-rich c(4 x 4) and beta2(2 x 4) as well as for the stoichiometric alpha2(2x4) and the Ga-rich zeta(4 x 2) surface phases. These results are compared with spectra recorded at low temperature (40 K). We find good agreement between the calculated and measured data, in particular for the As-rich surface phases. In marked contrast to earlier calculations we find the peak near the E-1 critical point energy, characteristic of the beta2(2 x 4) surface, to originate from electronic transitions in bulk layers. The experimental data for the Ga-rich (4 x 2) surface phase are less well reproduced, possibly due to surface defects or structural deviations from the zeta(4 x 2) model for the surface geometry.
