Abstract

Ge(mnn) surfaces between (1 0 0) and (1 1 1) were annealed under either arsine or phosphine in a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition chamber, then imaged with a scanning tunneling microscope. In general, arsine-exposed Ge surfaces are facetted, while phosphine-exposed surfaces remain flat. For the arsine-exposed Ge surfaces, four stable facetting directions have been identified: (1 0 0), (11, 3, 3), (9 5 5), and (1 1 1).
