Abstract
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].
