Abstract
Angle-resolved ultraviolet photoemission spectra are interpreted by co mbining the energetics and spatial properties of the contributing stat es. One-step calculations are in excellent agreement with new azimutha l experimental data for GaAs(110). Strong variations caused by the dis persion of the surface bands permit an accurate mapping of the electro nic structure. The delocalization of the valence states is discussed a nalogous to photoelectron diffraction. The spatial origin of the elect rons is determined, and found to be strongly energy dependent, with uv excitation probing the bonding region.
