Abstract

Angular distributions of Al+ and Ga+ ions desorbed by keV particle bombardment have been measured from a modified AlxGa(1-x)As {001} (2 × 4) surface reconstruction. This surface was prepared from the GaAs{001} c(4 × 4) surface by deposition of one monolayer of aluminum in situ via molecular beam epitaxy. The surface was then annealed to 550 K producing a (2 × 4) reconstruction. By comparing experimental angular distribution results with molecular dynamics simulations of the bombardment process, we show that Al and Ga segregate into different layers of the prepared (2 × 4) surface.
