Yq. Cai et al., ANGLE-RESOLVED PHOTOEMISSION FROM A GAAS ((1)OVER-BAR(1)OVER-BAR(1)OVER-BAR)-2X2 SURFACE - OFF-NORMAL EMISSION STUDY, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 53(8), 1996, pp. 4729-4733
Studies of angle-resolved photoemission from an As-rich GaAs(<(111)ove
r tilde>)-2x2 surface hale been extended to off-normal emission. A det
ailed analysis has been given of spectra taken with photon energies of
20, 23, 25, and 28 eV. The experimentally observed peak dispersion is
examined using structure plots by combining free-electron final state
s with initial states calculated on the basis of linear muffin-tin orb
itals. The results are also compared with earlier angle-resolved photo
emission studies on the same surface. This enabled us to identify emis
sion features due mainly to surface states and features to which a com
bination of various transitions, including surface umklapp, may contri
bute.
