摘要
The initial stages of homoepitaxy on GaAs(001) are studied with atomic-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy and Monte Carlo simulations that include the zinc blende structure of GaAs, the (2 x 4) reconstruction of the (001) surface, and the kinetics of As-2 incorporation. The reconstruction is found to favor nucleation on the top-layer arsenic dimers and to cause small islands to be unstable until they adopt the local (2 x 4) structure.
