Abstract

The experimental aspects of rapid-quench scanning tunneling microscopy are discussed. In particular, the effects of sample quenching are investigated in atomic-scale studies of the molecular beam epitaxial growth of GaAs. Implications for the study of the heteroepitaxial system InAs-GaAs are discussed.
