The GaAs (113)A surface was prepared by molecular beam epitaxy and inv
estigated in situ by means of low-energy electron diffraction, surface
core level spectroscopy and angle-resolved valence band photoemission
. One stable, (8 x 1) reconstructed surface was prepared. Surface core
level shifts were observed for As 3d (530 meV) and Ga (-460 meV, 360
meV) which support a recently proposed model [1]. Two surface resonanc
es were observed at -1.1 and -3.7 eV below the valence band maximum.
