AbstractDuring submonolayer deposition of GaN by molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE), novel 'ghost' islands are observed by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The island contrast depends on gap voltage of the STM, suggesting a different atomic structure of the islands than that of GaN terrace or normal islands. Formation of 'ghost' islands is related to the presence of excess gallium atoms on surface during MBE. Island size distribution show no peak but a monotonically decaying curve, indicating a surfactant mediated process for nucleation of such islands. A model is put forward explaining the origin and the structure of such islands. © 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
