Popis: The atomic structure of the c(2[times]2) reconstruction of the C -terminated 3C-SiC(001) surface was unambiguously determined by scanning tunneling microscopy and surface-core-level-resolved photoelectron diffraction studies. This surface is found to uniquely and uniformly consist of anomalous bridge-bonded C dimers with a C-C bond length of 1.22thinspthinsp[Angstrom]. Furthermore, an extensive angle-resolved photoemission study clearly identifies two occupied [pi] state bands due to the surface-normal and -parallel [pi] orbitals of the [ital triple-bonded] C dimers. This provides an electronic explanation of the stability of this unique surface reconstruction. [copyright] [ital 1999] [ital The American Physical Society]
