Abstract

The observations of the as-solution-grown GaAs (001) vicinal surfaces yield three kinds of Microtopologies. Each of them develops in a certain range of growth temperature. In a low temperature range (492° C…600° C) we observe parallel growth steps with heights of one Monolayer. In a medium range, a network consisting of two sets of growth steps with larger heights is observed. At high growth temperatures (780° C…850° C) we find growth surfaces that are atomically rough. IMplications of these findings for modelling the crystal growth will be discussed.
