Hydrogen cleaning induced surface changes of GaAs(110) — •Dorothee S. Rosenzweig1, Moritz N.L.

For the nanoscopic analysis of III/V nanowire (110) surfaces, hydrogen cleaning is a commonly used procedure. While hydrogen cleaning is reported to be destruction free [1] and to achieve clean, atomically flat surfaces—as they are present directly after growth—the actual processes and dynamics during cleaning are rarely examined. However, a detailed understanding of these issues is crucial for the interpretation of electronic surface properties, of the growth of Nanaowires, as well as of built-in and distribution of dopands.

Here, we investigate the modifications of GaAs(110) as model system upon atomic hydrogen exposure at room temperature and under commonly used cleaning conditions at the atomic level. For depiction and measurement at the atomic scale, we used scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy under UHV conditions. Using these methods we study the geometric arrangement of the adsorbed atoms as well as adsorbation induced additional electronic states, band bending, defect states, and Fermi level pinning.
