Abstract
The authors have carried out ab initio calculations of surface core excitations on finite cluster models of the GaAs(110) surface. For the Ga core excitation the authors find a localized excited state involving excitation into the empty Ga-4p orbital and bound with respect to the conduction band minimum (CBM) by 0. 7 ev. This is in reasonable agreement with experiment (binding energy APP GRTH 0. 8 ev). This transition, which is not analogous to bulk core excitations, is termed a core surfaston to emphasize the character of the state. It is found that the As core surfaston is above the CBM by 1. 0 ev and hence should be difficult to observe.
