A study of effects induced in the Be 1s core level spectrum and in the surface band structure after Si adsorption on Be(0001) is reported. The changes in the Be 1s spectrum are quite dramatic. The number of resolvable surface components and the magnitude of the shifts do decrease and the relative intensities of the shifted components are drastically different compared to the clean surface. The surface band structure is also strongly affected after Si adsorption and annealing. At [Formula: see text] the surface state is found to move down from 2.8 to 4.1 eV. The band also splits at around 0.5 Å-1 along both the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] directions. At [Formula: see text] and beyond [Formula: see text] only one surface state is observed in the band gap instead of the two for the clean surface. Our findings indicate that a fairly small amount of Si in the outer atomic layers strongly modifies the electronic properties of these layers.

ABSTRACTWe measured the absolute value of the surface band bending in GaN layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy with a charge sensitive surface microprobe. Surface potential measurements showed an upward band bending from 0.7 to 1.4 eV in undoped and Si-doped GaN. The samples stored in dark for one week showed an increase in band bending by up to 0.1 eV. The effect of ultraviolet (UV) exposure (with a lamp or a pulsed nitrogen laser) on band bending was also studied. Typically, the surface barrier decreased by about 0.2 – 0.5 eV under UV light. The barrier was restored very slowly (by a logarithmic law) in the dark at room temperature. These and other similar phenomena are tentatively attributed to thermionic transfer of free electrons from the bulk to the surface states. Photo-induced desorption of oxygen may also play a role in the observed effects.
