Abstract

The ex situ sulfur treatment of InP(001) by (NH4)2S and subsequent annealing in situ finally results in a sulfur-induced (2×1) superstructure as observed by low-energy electron diffraction. We have investigated the development of the In 4d, P 2p, and S 2p core levels with increasing temperature by using soft x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The measured core level shifts are compared with the corresponding data obtained on the (2×4) reconstruction of the clean InP(001) surface. On the basis of the core level data some models of the (2×1)S structure are discussed. Valence-band photoelectron spectra of the (2×1)S and the (2×4) surfaces have been measured in dependence on photon energy at normal emission and derived E(k) dispersions are analyzed. Although significantly different surface features are observed on both surfaces, there are similarities, which may be interpreted in terms of contributions from similar structural elements, possibly surface dimers.
