T. Droubay et Sa. Chambers, Surface-sensitive Fe 2p photoemission spectra for alpha-Fe2O3(0001): The influence of symmetry and crystal-field strength - art. no. 205414, PHYS REV B, 6420(20), 2001, pp. 5414
We have measured high-energy-resolution Fe 2p photoelectron spectra for alp
ha -Fe2O3/alpha -Al2O3(0001) grown by oxygen-plasma-assisted molecular-beam
epitaxy at emission angles chosen to enhance bulk and surface contribution
s. We quantitatively reproduce the subtle line-shape differences in these s
pectra by taking into account the break in symmetry and change in crystal f
ield splitting generated by the presence of the surface.
