V- and Ru-doped GaSb crystals have been investigated by scanning tunneling
spectroscopy in a combined scanning electron microscope-scanning tunneling
microscope system. Local variations of surface band gap have been measured
with high spatial resolution. Precipitates in both kinds of doped samples s
how a nearly metallic behavior. The surface band gaps in the GaSb matrix ha
ve been found to depend on the dopant. [S0163-1829(99)06439-5].
