We consider the electronic structure and optical properties for several geometries of the GaAs(001)-c(4x4) surface using first-principles calculations. We find strong evidence that the best agreement with photo- emission and reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy experiments carried out on surfaces prepared under As4 flux is obtained for a structure containing three Ga-As dimers per unit cell. The standard As-As dimer model yields similar, but distinguishable results, while an asymmetric dimer model is found to yield completely incompatible surface spectra.

Abstract
We consider the electronic structure and optical properties for several geometries of the GaAs(001)-c(4x4) surface using first-principles calculations. We find strong evidence that the best agreement with photo- emission and reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy experiments carried out on surfaces prepared under As4 flux is obtained for a structure containing three Ga-As dimers per unit cell. The standard As-As dimer model yields similar, but distinguishable results, while an asymmetric dimer model is found to yield completely incompatible surface spectra.File in questo prodotto:
