Abstract

Using scanning tunneling microscopy, we have identified and characterized Si donors (Si Ga) in GaAs located on the (110) surface and in subsurface layers. Si Ga on the surface shows localized features with characteristic structures in good agreement with a recent theoretical calculation. Si Ga in subsurface layers appears as delocalized protrusions superimposed on thebackground lattice, which are interpreted in terms of the modification of the tunneling due to the tip-induced band bending perturbed by the Si Ga Coulomb potential.
