摘要
利用同步辐射光发射研究了Sm/GaAs(10)界面形成.高分辨的芯能级谱结果表明,在低覆盖度下(<0.1nm),Sm与衬底的作用较弱,形成较突出的金属/半导体界面.当Sm的覆盖度增加时,As和Ga的表面发射峰很快消失,表明Sm与Ga发生置换反应而与As形成化学键.同时,Ga原子会向Sm膜体内扩散且偏析到Sm膜表面,而As-Sm化合物只停留在界面区域.当Sm膜厚度达到0.5nm时,Sm膜开始金属化.结合理论模型,文中还详细地讨论了界面形成和界面结构.
Abstract Synchrotron radiation photoemission has been used to study the room temperature formation of the Sin/GaAs(100) interface. High resolution core level spectra results show that at low Sin coverage(<0.1nm), the interaction between Sm and the substrate is weak, and the interface is nearly abrupt. With increasing the Sm coverage, the surface components of As3d and Ga3d core levels disappear quickly, which indicates Sm can exchange the Ga in bulk GaAs and bond with As. Ga atoms exchanged by the Sm atoms may diffuse into Sm overlayer and segregate on the Sm overlayer, and the As-Sm compounds may remain near the interface. At Sm coverage of 0. 5nm, the Sm becomes the metallic film. According to a theoretical model, the interface formation and the profile are discussed in detail in the text.
