摘要: We have carried out an extensive study on the surface state properties of an ionic, insulating Be2C(100) surface using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Two surface states were observed and characterized. One (S1) is derived at the Gamma-point above the valence band maximum in the fundamental gap. The other (S2) is located in the gap at the X-point. Resonance in the photoemission intensity of surface state S2 shows multiple peaks due to a surface umklapp process, similar to bulk transitions, because of large corrugation of the ionic surface. The penetration lengths deduced are about 4 Angstrom for both surface states. The dispersions of these states are very small. These two results indicate strong localization of the. surface state wave function to individual surface C atoms owing to the ionic character of this compound. That a surface state (S2) exists in a non-inverted Shockley gap is attributed to the compound structure. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
