摘要

We present a detailed and comprehensive theoretical investigation of the sulphur-passivated (001) surface of InP. First, the ground-state structure is determined using density-functional methods, including full relaxation of the surface. The lowest-energy structure at 0 K is a striking (2x2) reconstruction with the S atoms displaced from the bridge sites to form short and long dimers, belonging to two distinct sublayers. This surface structure is used to calculate the backscattering Raman spectrum; the two peaks arising from surface-layer vibrations predicted by our calculations are observed. Next, our first-principles calculations are extended to the study of a number of other states of the surface that can arise upon annealing. For this purpose, we construct and relax several higher-energy states of the surface, and calculate the corresponding core-level photoemission psectra. A remarkable sequence of structures is found to unfold from the fully S-covered ground state as they become energeticaly accessible. The surface S atoms exchange with bulk P atoms, forming new (and strong) S-P bonds while dissociating pre-existing S-S dimers. The predicted core-level spectra are found to be entirely consistent with the experimental measurements; our calculations indicate that the annealed (at about 700 K) surface is a (2x2) structure containing two S and two P atoms per unit cell. Finally, we have used to predicted stable surface structures to calculate the photoemission and inverse photoemission psectra. They are found to agree well with experment if the surface is assumed to consist of a mixture of the above ground-state and annealed structures.
