Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy (UPS) and LEED Studies of BaTiO, (001) and SrTiO, (100) SurfacesBy R. COURTHS UPS studies (21.2 and 40.8 eV) are performed onBaTiO, (001) and SrTiO, (100) surfaces. In both the compounds there is an enhanced emission a t the top of the valence band for hv = 21.2 eV, which cannot be explained with the existing theoretical bulk densities of states. From the results of angle-dependent UPS measurements i t is concluded that the top of the valence band emission is due to a n oxygen surface state. This interpretation is supported by band structure calculations for thin films of BaTiO, of Marathe e t al. -4 band gap state at 0.9 eV (BaTiO,) and 1.2 eV (SrTiO,) below the bottom of the conduction band can be detected on oxygen deficient surfaces and is interpreted as arising from Ti3+ species. In UHV annealed surfaces are 1 x 1 ordered. They show a 2 x 2 or two mutually perpendicular 2 x 1 LEED patterns in case of a higher concentration of Ti3+-0-vacancy defects due to defect ordering.UPS-Studien (21,2 and 40,s eV) werden an BaTi0,(001)-und SrTi03(100)-0berflachen durchgefiihrt. In beiden Verbindungen wird fur hv = 21,2 eV eine verstarkte Emission a n der Valenzbandoberkante beobachtet. die nicht mit existierenden theoretischen Volnmenzustandsdichten erklart werden kann. Aus den Ergebnissen yon winkelabhangigen UPS-Messungen wird geschlossen, daB diese Emission von einem Sauerstoffoberflachenzustand verursacht wird. Diese Interpretation wird gestutzt durch die Bandstrukturrechnungen a n diinnen BaTi0,-Filmen von Marathe et al. Ein Bandluckenzustand 0,9 eV (BaTiO,) bzw. 1.2 eV (SrTiO,) unterhalb der Leitungsbandunterkante wird in sauerstoffunterschissigen Oberflachen beobachtet und Ti3+-Spezies zugeordnet. I n UHV geheizte Oberflachen zeigen eine 1 x 1-Ordnung. I m Falle einer hoheren Konzentration der Ti3+-0-Fehlstellen-Defekte zeigen die Oberflachen ein 2 x 2-oder zwei zueinander senkrechte 2 x 1-LEED-Muster aufgrund von Defektordnung.
