We present surface investigations of three differently doped β-Ga2O3 crystals by scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. One sample is unintentionally doped, while both others are doped by Si and Sn. All the bulk β-Ga2O3 single crystals were grown from the melt by the Czochralski method [1,2] and cleaved in situ under a base pressure below 1×10−8 Pa for experimental investigation. On the flat β-Ga2O3(100) cleavage surfaces of each sample dark contrasts occur that can be partially assigned to unintentional background doping by Si. By low energy electron diffraction measurements on the β-Ga2O3(100) surfaces we observed an unreconstructed surface with a 1×1 diffraction pattern. Scanning tunneling spectra show intrinsic electronic states within the band gap, induced most likely by oxygen vacancies. This project was supported by the Leibniz Association, Leibniz Science Campus GraFOx, project C2-3.
