The electronic properties of shallow acceptors in $p$-doped GaAs{110} are investigated with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) at low temperature. Shallow acceptors are known to exhibit distinct triangular contrasts in STM images for certain bias voltages. Spatially resolved $I(V)$ spectroscopy is performed to identify their energetic origin and behavior. A crucial …
