Abstract

We have analyzed the second voltage derivative (SD) of the ballistic electron emission microscopy (BEEM) spectra of GaInP2. We associate two peaks observed in the SD-BEEM spectra of disordered GaInP2 on n+ GaAs substrate with the Γ and L conduction minima, Δ (Γ-L)- 0.35eV. An additional third peak appearing in the SD-BEEM spectrum of ordered GaInP2(η -0.5) is associated with the L-band splitting due to the ordering-induced "folding" of one of the four L valleys onto the Γ point. According to our results, this splitting is -0.13 eV.
