Reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS) is applied to study the reconstructed GaAsBi(001) surfaces at room temperature. Arsenic-capped GaAsBi samples with 7% Bi concentration are grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) in nearly matched conditions on a proper buffer layer and annealed in ultra-high vacuum (UHV). Low energy electron diffraction (LEED) shows that, following the As decapping, a 2 × 3/1 × 3 phase (Bi-rich) is obtained after annealing the sample at 400 °C, while subsequent annealing at 450 °C yields a deterioration of the surface order. RAS spectra measured in situ allow to definitely confirm that the characteristic Bi-dependent anisotropy measured below 2.5 eV has not a true surface origin, although being connected to the surface: it is related to the strain of the directional bonds between Bi atoms existing at the surface and below the surface. This result has a twofold significance: it recommends that previous attributions to the surface of RAS anisotropy features in III–V semiconductors should be in some cases revisited; for the future, it shows that RAS is suitable to characterize 2D-layered materials, and to investigate the consequences of strain in the electronic properties of low-dimensional systems.

通过反射各向异性光谱法检测 GaAsBi(001) 表面的次表面应变

反射各向异性光谱 (RAS) 用于研究室温下重建的 GaAsBi(001) 表面。具有 7% Bi 浓度的砷封盖 GaAsBi 样品通过分子束外延 (MBE) 在适当的缓冲层上在几乎匹配的条件下生长,并在超高真空 (UHV) 中退火。低能电子衍射 (LEED) 表明,在 As 脱帽之后,样品在 400 °C 退火后获得 2 × 3/1 × 3 相(富含 Bi),而随后在 450 °C 退火会产生劣化表面秩序。原位测量的 RAS 光谱可以明确地证实,低于 2.5 eV 测量的特征 Bi 相关各向异性没有真正的表面起源,尽管连接到表面:它与存在于表面和表面下的Bi原子之间的定向键的应变有关。这一结果具有双重意义:它建议在某些情况下应重新审视先前对 III-V 族半导体中 RAS 各向异性特征表面的归因;对于未来,它表明 RAS 适用于表征 2D 层状材料,并研究应变对低维系统电子特性的影响。
