Abstract
⺠A surface layer of â¼2.5 nm and rich in Mn and Ga oxides is established with XPS. ⺠Nanoindentation is applied on electropolished and mechanically polished crystals. ⺠A similar type of oxide layer appears both in the electropolished and mech. polished surface. ⺠In the electropolished surface elastic loading is followed by a notable pop-in of the indenter. ⺠The pop-in is absent when indenting the mechanically polished surface.
