R. Graupner et al., DISPERSIONS OF SURFACE-STATES ON DIAMOND(100) AND DIAMOND(111), Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 55(16), 1997, pp. 10841-10847
We present angle-resolved photoelectron spectra and surface state disp
ersions for the clean, 2 x 1 reconstructed (111) and (100) surfaces of
diamond. For the (100) surface a surface state is found in the gap of
the projected bulk band structure around (Y) over bar, which has a bi
nding energy of 2.7 eV at (Y) over bar (relative to the Fermi level) a
nd a dispersion in the <(Gamma)over bar>-(Y) over bar direction of 0.5
eV, consistent with theory. At <(Gamma)over bar> a surface resonance
is observed at 1.4 eV binding energy. No surface states were observed
above the valence-band maximum. Our results on the (111) surface show
a strongly dispersing surface state that reaches its maximum 0.5 eV be
low the Fermi level at (K) over bar. This result implies a gap of at l
east 0.5 eV in the surface electronic structure, which has consequence
s for the surface reconstruction in terms of a pi-bonded chain model.
