Abstract

We use low energy electron diffraction, Auger electron spectroscopy, and ultraviolet and x-ray photoemission spectroscopy to study the surface structure, stoichiometry, and electronic properties of n- and p-type GaN (0001) grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. Ordered (1 ×1) surfaces with nearly stoichiometric composition are prepared by nitrogen sputtering and annealing. The band bending is found to be 0.75±0.1 eV up and 0.75±0.1 eV down for n- and p-type samples, respectively. The work function, electron affinity, and Ga 3d core level binding energy are also determined.
