摘要：
The bandgap, surface Fermi level, and surface state density of a series of GaAs1-xSbx surface intrinsic-n(+) structures with GaAs as substrate are determined for various Sb mole fractions x by the photoreflectance modulation spectroscopy. The dependence of the bandgap on the mole composition x is in good agreement with previous measurements as well as predictions calculated using the dielectric model of Van Vechten and Bergstresser in Phys. Rev. B 1, 3551 (1970). For a particular composition x, the surface Fermi level is always strongly pinned within the bandgap of GaAs1-xSbx and we find its variation with composition x is well described by a function E-F = 0.70 - 0.192 x for 0 <= x <= 0.35, a result which is notably different from that reported by Chouaib et al. [Appl. Phys. Lett. 93, 041913 (2008)]. Our results suggest that the surface Fermi level is pinned at the midgap of GaAs and near the valence band of the GaSb. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.
