Abstract

X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) is used to determine the structure of the S-passivated InP(100)-(1×1) surface. From photon electric polarization-dependent XANES studies, we found that S forms a bridge bond with two In atoms along the [011] direction, with an In-S-In bond angle of 100°. The atomic position of S is found to be close to the tetrahedral site of a phosphorous vacancy.
