Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies of free compound semiconductor surfaces as well as gas-solid and metal-solid interaction are summarized. An experimental and theoretical analysis of the GaAs(110) surface reconstruction was conducted and applied to three additional compounds: InSb, InP and ZnTe. Attempts were made to relate the type and the magnitude of the surface reconstruction of these materials to the covalent-ionic character of the bonding. Knowledge of the atomic reconstructions of these surfaces was used to investigate the reactivity of semiconductor surfaces (GaAs(110)) with gas (oxygen) and metal (aluminum) atoms. These multicomponent systems are at the center of the author's essays to understand the chemistry of these surfaces and its relationship with their atomic reconstruction. Using Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) as the principal tool to investigation, structural information has been obtained which correlates chemical and electronic information obtained by other surface analysis techniques.
