Abstract
Because of the expense of dynamical low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) computational analyses, a more economical approach to the comparison between measured and computed LEED intensity profiles of nonpolar compound semiconductor surfaces consists of determining an initial estimate of surface atomic position coordinates via comparison of experimental data with kinematical calculations. Once an acceptable region of position parameter space has been identified, further refinements can be obtained by dynamical LEED analyses. Results are presented of the kinematical portion of such an analysis applied to GaAs(110) and ZnSe(110) surfaces. It is found that both materials exhibit similar surface atomic rearrangements characterized by bond length distortions and vertical displacements of the two sublattices in the uppermost atomic layer.
