Cj. Karlsson et al., SI 2P CORE-LEVEL SPECTROSCOPY OF THE SI(111)-(1 X 1)-H AND SI(111)-(1X 1)-D SURFACES - VIBRATIONAL EFFECTS AND PHONON BROADENING, Physical review letters, 72(26), 1994, pp. 4145-4148
Very sharp photoemission spectra have been obtained from the Si(111)-(
1 x 1):H and Si(111)-(1 x 1):D surfaces prepared by a simple well-defi
ned in situ method. Both the Si 2p core-level spectra and the valence
band spectra are essentially identical to spectra reported for the che
mically prepared (1 x 1):H surface. We can conclusively exclude contri
butions from Si-H(D) stretching vibrational losses to the Si 2p core-l
evel spectra, contrary to a recent suggestion. The line shape of the c
omponent originating from the surface Si atoms is found to be asymmetr
ic, which we assign to asymmetric phonon broadening.
