The atomic structure and electronic properties of the InP and AlInP(001) surfaces at the initial stages of oxidation are investigated via density functional theory. Thereby, we focus on the mixed-dimer (2 × 4) surfaces stable for cation-rich preparation conditions. For InP, the top In-P dimer is the most favored adsorption site, while it is the second-layer Al-Al dimer for AlInP. The energetically favored adsorption sites yield group III-O bond-related states in the energy region of the bulk band gap, which may act as recombination centers. Consistently, the In p state density around the conduction edge is found to be reduced upon oxidation.
通过密度泛函理论研究了InP和AlInP(001)表面在氧化初始阶段的原子结构和电子性质。因此,我们关注在富阳离子制备条件下稳定的混合二聚体(2×4)表面。对于InP,顶部的In-P二聚体是最有利的吸附位点,而对于AlInP则是第二层的Al-Al二聚体。在体能带隙能量区域中,能量上有利的吸附位点产生与III族-氧键相关的状态,这些状态可能充当复合中心。一致地,发现在氧化时导带边缘周围的In p态密度降低。
