X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) measurements have been executed for TlTiOPO 4 to elucidate the general features in the electronic structure of the KTiOPO 4 family compounds. The peculiarities of the valence band structure have been discussed for the crystals. The persistence of core level binding energy differences O 1s–P 2p and O 1s–Ti 2p 3/2 has been detected in TlTiOPO 4 and KTiOPO 4, which relates well with the constancy of averaged P – O and Ti – O chemical bond lengths in this crystal family. The superstructure ordering of the TlTiOPO 4 surface subjected to polishing and annealing has been detected by reflectance high energy electron diffraction (RHEED). From comparison of surface crystallographic properties of TlTiOPO 4 and KTiOPO 4, the most typical superstructure indices have been revealed.

We investigated the initial oxidation of MBE-grown Si (100) surfaces with atomic flatness using x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) and reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED). It was found that the MBE-grown surfaces are inert and hardly oxidized even after exposure to molecular oxygen up to 1500 Langmuir (L) at room temperature. At elevated temperatures, the surface oxidation was substantially promoted. On the contrary, the surface oxidation was found to be substantiated on a deliberately corrugated Si surface prepared by low temperature MBE growth, even at room temperature.

AbstractPhosphorus exposed GaAs (100) surfaces during a Chemical Beam Epitaxy growth process are studied using in-situ Reflection High Energy Electron Diffraction and ex-situ High Resolution X-ray Diffraction. It is shown that the phosphorus exposure of a GaAs (100) surface in the 500 – 580 °C temperature range results in the formation of one GaP monolayer.
