✦ Synopsis
We have investigated the initial growth mechanism of MnAs on GaAs(0 0 1)-c(4 Â 4)a reconstructed surfaces. We found that the MnAs deposition on GaAs(0 0 1)-c(4 Â 4)a surface promotes to break the Ga-As asymmetric dimers and modulates the dimer characteristics to symmetric As-As dimer formation on the surfaces. The Ga atoms consisting of c(4 Â 4)a reconstructed surface are contributed to the anomaly in the surface coverage during the MnAs growth. We also found that 1 ML zinc-blende-type layer is realized by the MnAs growth and then hexagonal NiAs-type MnAs islands are formed on the surface.

Surface phase diagram of recently proposed GaAs(0 0 1)-(2 Â 4)g is systematically investigated by using our ab initio-based approach. We focus on the (4 Â 7) domain consisting of c(4 Â 4)-like and (2 Â 4)-like regions to clarify surface dimer constituents as functions of temperature T and As (As 2 a
