Abstract
Electron-microscope studies have been carried out on the relief of the growth surface of epitaxial gallium arsenide layers in the vicinity of the (111)A face and the quantitative characteristics of the elements of the relief have been determined: the density of growth centers on a singular face, the height of the steps, and the distances between steps in the vicinal planes. The parameters of the growth steps are shown to depend on the orientation of the face and the concentration of the growth components in the vapor phase.
