Popis: Angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) using synchrotron radiation was employed to study the electronic structure of single-domain Si(001)2x2-Al and -In surfaces. Five different dispersing surface state bands, denoted as S 1 , S 2 , S′ 2 , S 3 and S′ 3 , are identified within bulk band gap with similar dispersions for both surfaces. From their dispersions and symmetry properties, the lowest-E B state S 1 is assigned as the surface state due to the dimer bond within the Al (In) dimer and S 2 , S′ 2 , S 3 and S′ 3 due to the back bonds between Al (In) and top-most Si atoms. This result also gives a corroborating evidence for the parallel dimer model of the surface structure.
