摘要
We report on the formation of a stable (4 x 1) reconstruction of the chalcopyrite CuGaSe2(001) surface. Using Ar+ ion-bombardment and annealing of epitaxial CuGaSe2 films grown on GaAs(001) substrates it was possible to obtain flat, well-ordered surfaces showing a clear (4 x 1) reconstruction. The cleanliness and structure were analyzed in situ by AES and LEED. AES data suggest a slight Se-enrichment and Cu-depletion upon surface preparation. Our results demonstrate that (001) surfaces of the Cu-III-VI2(001) material can show stable, unfacetted surfaces. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
