摘要：
We report the first atomic resolution scanning tunneling microscopy images of the InP(100)-(2 x 4) surface. High resolution images were obtained for both occupied and unoccupied states. The x4 periodicity is due to missing rows, and the x2 periodicity to the repetition of what appear to be trimer units. It is demonstrated that the images are inconsistent with dimer-based models proposed for related semiconductor surfaces such as GaAs.
