In this paper we present an experimental study of the growth morphology and of the electronic properties of Sn growth on polar InSb (111) A- and B-type surfaces, and on the InSb (100)-c(2×8) surface, the valence band and In-4d core level evolution as a function of Sn coverage have been measured by high-resolution ultra-violet (UV) photoemission spectroscopy, while the surface symmetry has been monitored by low-energy electron-diffraction. Clear (2×1)-reconstruction has been singled out on the (100) surface, while a (1×1)-Sn(111) layer has been obtained on the (111)-oriented substrates, and In interdiffusion has been observed into the Sn matrix.

Abstract
In this paper we present an experimental study of the growth morphology and of the electronic properties of Sn growth on polar InSb (111) A- and B-type surfaces, and on the InSb (100)-c(2×8) surface, the valence band and In-4d core level evolution as a function of Sn coverage have been measured by high-resolution ultra-violet (UV) photoemission spectroscopy, while the surface symmetry has been monitored by low-energy electron-diffraction. Clear (2×1)-reconstruction has been singled out on the (100) surface, while a (1×1)-Sn(111) layer has been obtained on the (111)-oriented substrates, and In interdiffusion has been observed into the Sn matrix.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
