The electronic properties of a clean Si(110)-''16 x 2'' surface have b
een studied by angle-reserved ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (
ARUPS) and surface differential reflectivity (SDR). Four surface state
s have been recognized by ARUPS and their dispersions have been mapped
along the main symmetry lines in the surface Brillouin zone. SDR expe
riments revealed transitions between filled and empty surface states a
t similar to 1.8, 2.4, and 2.9 eV. The results are explained on the ba
sis of a new structural model of the Si(110)-''16 x 2'' phase.
