    Abstract

    Changes in surface stoichiometry of GaN under the low-energy Ar bombardment were followed. Both core-level photoemission spectroscopy (PES) and near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy were employed to characterize the bombardment surface. The formation of a Ga-rich surface associated with the formation of metallic Ga and nitrogen interstitials, Ni, was observed.
