G. Leveque et al., OBSERVATION OF UMKLAPP AND SURFACE BANDS IN PHOTOEMISSION EXPERIMENT ON II-VI MATERIALS - A STUDY OF CD0.6HG0.4TE, Journal of vacuum science & technology. A. Vacuum, surfaces, and films, 11(3), 1993, pp. 529-534
Normal and off-normal photoemission are performed in the 16-27 eV rang
e on Cd0.6Hg0.4Te mixed crystal. The umklapp bands, well recognized on
normal incidence energy distribution curve, can be followed in off-no
rmal data, with continuous variations not previously observed. A tight
binding calculation of the energy dispersion of the umklapp bands con
firms that most secondary emissions are in fact related to umklapp ban
ds. The surface states appear partly masked by these bulk derived umkl
app bands. Only one surface state, in an inner gap of the valence band
, appears distinct from other bulk features, which indicates that some
of the previously mentioned experimental surface states in II-VI comp
ounds should be revised.
