P. Ebert et K. Urban, ELECTRONIC-PROPERTIES OF THE GA VACANCY IN GAP(110) SURFACES DETERMINED BY SCANNING-TUNNELING-MICROSCOPY, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 58(3), 1998, pp. 1401-1404
The electronic properties of uncharged Ga monovacancies in GaP(110) su
rfaces are determined from voltage-dependent scanning tunneling micros
copy images. The signatures of localized defect states in the band gap
are analyzed and their spatial location is determined. Empty and occu
pied defect states exist. Depressed dangling bonds in the occupied-sta
te images indicate an inward relaxation of the neighboring P atoms. Th
e results agree with recent theoretical work. [S0163-1829(98)02927-0].
