Abstract

Formation and electronic structure of the Mn/GaAs(100) interface grown at room temperature are studied by photoemission. The growth at early stage is identified to be in two-dimensional mode. The chemical reaction and the interface diffusion happened between Mn and GaAs are explored in some details. A ferromagnetic phase of Mn overlayer at early stage is deduced from the change of electron density of states near the Fermi edge.
