Initial stage of precipitate formation during post-growth annealing of nonstoichiometric GaAs and GaAs0.97Sb0.03 grown by low-temperature (150oC) MBE on GaAs (001) substrate with intermediate growth interruption and simultaneous heating up to 250oC was studied by transmission electron microscopy. Short-term intermediate heating despite the low temperature was revealed to result in the precipitation of larger particles during subsequent post-growth annealing compared to the material not subjected to such heating. This effect is explained by the huge concentration of excess arsenic in LT-GaAs and LT-GaAs0.97Sb0.03 grown at 150oC, enhanced diffusion due to the high concentration of nonequilibrium gallium vacancies, and non-threshold nucleation. Keywords: nonstoichiometric GaAs, LT-GaAs, precipitation.
