TLDR
In this article, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals that the remarkable electronic quality of GaAs/sulfide interfaces can be attributed to the formation of AsxSy phases which grow on an oxide-free GaAs surface.
Abstract
X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals that the remarkable electronic quality of GaAs/sulfide interfaces can be ascribed to the formation of AsxSy phases which grow on an oxide‐free GaAs surface. While one of these phases is akin to As2S3, another shows significant in‐plane S—S bonding. Raman experiments indicate that the band bending on this disulfide‐ terminated surface has been reduced to 0.12 eV.

Nearly ideal electronic properties of sulfide coated GaAs surfaces

TL;DR: In this paper, a robust covalently bonded sulfide layer was proposed to explain the favorable electronic properties of GaAs/GaAs interfaces, and the surface recombination velocity at the interface between Na2S⋅9H2O and GaAs began to approach that of the nearly ideal AlGaAs/GAAs interface.
