Abstract
A method to protect clean and ordered InAlSb/InSb(100) surfaces from a tmospheric exposure by the deposition of an amorphous Sb layer is disc ussed. This layer may be subsequently removed by heat treatment at 490 degrees C to generate a c(8 X 2) reconstructed surface that is predom inantly In-rich and to a lesser extent Al-rich, with respect to the bu lk stoichiometry.
