摘要：

The mechanisms of the stability of bulk terminated semiconductor polar ((111) over bar) surfaces are investigated for the first time with ab initio methods. In the cases of InAs((111) over bar), InP((111) over bar) and GaP((111) over bar), charge is found to be removed from the surfaces, which avoids an electrostatic catastrophe and stabilizes the surfaces. These new findings properly account for the experimental existence of these unreconstructed surfaces. The GaAs((111) over bar) surface is, however, predicted to be unstable in accordance with experiment. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
