Y. Fukuda et al., SPECTROSCOPIC EVIDENCE FOR REDUCTION OF UNOCCUPIED STATES IN THE BAND-GAP OF GAP(001) BY H2S PASSIVATION, Journal of applied physics, 76(6), 1994, pp. 3632-3634
Clean and H,S-adsorbed GaP(001) surfaces have been studied by inverse
and ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (IPES) and (UPS) and by hig
h-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy. H,S is found to be dis
sociated on the surface, leaving only sulfur on it, which is consisten
t with UPS results. IPES spectra show strong reduction in intensity at
1.5 and 4.5 eV above the Fermi level upon sulfur adsorption, The redu
ction in the former indicates tremendous decrease of unoccupied states
, which correspond to dangling bonds of surface gallium atoms, in the
band gap by H2S passivation.
