Surface electronic structure studies of GaAs (110)

Abstract
Angle‐resolved photoemission using synchrotron radiation from GaAs (110) has been studied in conjunction with tight binding calculations of the surfaceelectronic structure. Emission from two new surface resonances−which were predicted to exist only for a relaxed surface‐have been identified near the edges of the surfaceBrillouin zone at ? and ?′. Also, measurements of the dispersion of the As‐derived surface state near the valence band maximum, first reported elsewhere, have been extended from ? to the zone edge ? and a band width of 0.6 eV has been determined. All of these observations, including those reported elsewhere of intrinsic surface states on GaAs (110) are accounted for by a tight binding model calculation for a relaxed surface (∠19° bond angle rotation).
