Abstract
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy has been used to study chemical bonds which appeared on the (110) surface of GaAs after cleavage of the cry stal in solutions of sodium sulfide in different alcohols. It has been shown that after such treatment the sulfur atoms are almost exclusive ly bended gallium atoms. This is conditioned by the electrostatic inte raction of sulfur ions in the solution with the surface ions of the cr ystal lattice of the semiconductor. (C) 1997 American Vacuum Society.
