The SIC(0001) single-crystal has been studied in terms of changes in surface composition m the temperature range of 980-1300°C by means of Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) The carbon concentration at the surface increased with temperature Tlus increase was split up Into two processes One was an initial fast process and the next was a slow one, observed above 1000°C It was concluded that the former was thermodynamic and that the latter was caused by evaporation of sdlcon atoms Activation energies for the slow process of surface grapbattzatlon and for evaporation of slhcon, which erasted in the near-surface region before heat treatment, were found to be 1 1 and 3 4 eV, respectively

We present here a simple model for the mterpretatlon of ton neutrahzatton spectra We take into account the fact that the neutralization process depends on both the density of states and the orbital size and takes place continuously at all surface- ion separation distances at wtuch the ton and metal orbltals overlap. The model ts apphed to the calculation of the density of states of the NI(111) surface
