| We report the results of our studies of ruthenium layer structures adsorbed on GaN(0001). Ruthenium was evaporated at room temperature under ultrahigh vacuum conditions onto n-type GaN substrates epitaxially grown on sapphire. While X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the presence of Ru bonds in the deposited adlayers, the ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy show a peak at the Fermi level as well as lines originating from ruthenium. The height of the Schottky barrier was calculated based on the data measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy and amounts to 1.5 eV. |
