Abstract

In this chapter, it is first described how the surface science and engineering of the III–V compound semiconductors are relevant to developing the semiconductor-based materials, including bismuth (Bi) containing III–V films, for improved electronics and optoelectronics devices. After that the general properties of the III–V(100) surfaces, which usually undergo strong atomic rearrangements (reconstructions), are reviewed. Before focusing on the unusual Bi-induced III–V(100)(2 × 1) reconstructions and Bi-induced changes in the III–V(100)(2 3× 4) surfaces, it is described the experimental and computational research methods used as well as the advantages obtained by combining the experimental and computational results in the analysis. Calculational results reveal an interesting correlation between the geometry and surface band structure of the (2 × 1) reconstruction, and the relative stability of the (2 × 1) reconstruction.
