The valence bands of the unreconstructed H-Si͑111͒-1ϫ1 are investigated using angle-resolved ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. The high quality of the surface and the absence of reconstruction allow us to observe bulk bands comparable to theoretical calculations. The asymmetric dispersion of the valence bands along the M Ј ⌫ M direction of the surface Brillouin zone confirms the asymmetry observed for the conduction bands. Such an asymmetry, stemming from the fact that the family of ͑112͒ planes are not mirror planes in the bulk of Si, provides a supplementary means of disentangling bulk states from surface states.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
