Abstract

We report cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy studies of GaAsP single crystals grown by the Liquid Encapsulated Czochralski technique. We show that the two group-V elements can be clearly distinguished, which is attributed to the difference in energies of surface dangling bond states of As and P. Our atomic scale imaging results show alloy composition in agreement with spectroscopic studies. They also provide valuable information about atomic scale alloy fluctuations and clustering effects.
