Abstract
Four As-rich reconstruction models: α(2×4), β1(2×4), β2(2×4) and γ(2×4) phases are built, using first-principles method,
electrical structure and optical properties of these four phases are researched. Results show that β2(2×4) is the most easily
formed reconstructed phase. Sp3 hybrid orbital is changed when the reconstructed phases are formed. The electron
transition from VBM to CBM of α(2×4) is the easiest while the photoemission of γ(2×4) phase is easiest. During the formtion
of the phases, the metal reflection characteristic region moves towards the lower energy end and the energy range of the
metal reflection characteristic region becomes smaller. β2 (2×4) phase is the most favorable to the transmission of photons.
