H. Ascolani et al., DIRECT DETERMINATION OF MULTIPLE ADSORPTION SITES USING CHEMICAL-SHIFT PHOTOELECTRON DIFFRACTION - SB GAAS(110)/, Physical review letters, 78(13), 1997, pp. 2604-2607
A direct inversion of experimental energy-dependent photoelectron diff
raction data has been used to determine the structure of two inequival
ent adsorption sites of Sb at the GaAs(110)-p(1 x 1)Sb surface. Scanne
d-energy distributions for each of the two chemically shifted componen
ts of the Sb-4d core level were measured and the reconstruction of the
se data yields to three-dimensional images of the nearby atoms. Our re
sults show that the atomic geometry of the Sh overlayer contradicts va
rious models proposed for this surface and are consistent only with th
e epitaxial continued layer structure.
