Abstract In order to predict the actual quantity of non-bulk GaAs layers after long-time homoepitaxy on GaAs (001) by theoretical calculation, a half-terrace diffusion model based on thermodynamics is used to calculate the ripening time of GaAs layers to form a flat morphology in annealing. To verify the accuracy of the calculation, real space scanning tunneling microscopy images of GaAs surface after different annealing times are obtained and the roughness of the GaAs surface is measured. The results suggest that the half terrace model is an accurate method with a relative error of about 4.1%.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
