Popis: Low-energy-electron-diffraction (LEED) and angle-resolved inverse photoemission spectroscopy (ARIPES) have been applied to the cleaved surface of ${\mathrm{Bi}}_{2}$${\mathrm{Sr}}_{2}$${\mathrm{CaCu}}_{2}$${\mathrm{O}}_{8}$ single crystals. The LEED pattern shows a surface lattice which is identical to the superlattice found in the bulk structure. ARIPES along the \ensuremath{\Gamma}X(${a}^{\mathrm{*}}$) direction yields nondispersive unoccupied electronic states at 2.9 and \ensuremath{\sim}5 eV above the Fermi energy attributed to Bi-O derived conduction bands. At 0.47 \ensuremath{\Gamma}X the experimental density of states at the Fermi level increases. This may be due to the crossing of the O(1) band through ${E}_{F}$ derived from oxygen atoms in the Cu-O planes.
