Abstract

In the present work by means of measurements of RHEED intensity the research of the arrangement of tin atoms on vicinal surfaces of GaAs crystals was carried out. The orientation of crystals was close to (001). The intensity of diffracted electrons was measured in different points of the diffraction picture to reveal the arrangement of tin atoms on terraces or on edges of terraces. It was shown that tin atoms may decorate edges of terraces and thus form chains. Concentrations of tin atoms located on terraces and their edges were established. It was revealed, that tin atoms decorate edges of terraces only at rather high temperatures of a substrate.
