Abstract
The possibility of semiconductor surface activation, which shows up as a long-term increase in the adsorption capacity in response to a short exposure to a pulsed magnetic field, is demonstrated for the first time. Magnetic-field-induced surface activation is studied on silicon, germanium, and gallium arsenide crystals. The effect revealed extends the capabilities of thin-film growth on the semiconductor surface.
