Abstract

From in-situ ellipsometric measurements during condensation of As4 molecular\nbeam on GaAs(001) substrate the arsenic sticking coefficient was determined.\nFor the substrate with Ga-rich surface reconstruction at 60C the sticking\ncoefficient was found to be 7x10-3, whereas for the surface of amorphous\narsenic this coefficient was only 8x10-4. Kinetic studies of As sublimation\nwere also performed and activation energy for the process was obtained. For\namorphous As films grown from As2 beam the activation energy was found to be\nDeltaE=1.84+-0.03eV, which is 0.39eV higher than the enthalpy of solid-vapor\nphase transition. Temperature dependence of evaporation coefficient for\namorphous As was determined in the 230-290C range.\n
