Angle-resolved and -integrated photoemission spectra from the ZnSe(110) surface were measured with He I (21.2 eV) light. Angle-resolved spectra were taken for the ? -?′, ? -?, and ? -? symmetry lines. From oxygen-contamination tests and by comparing the experimental result with a calculated surface electronic structure, we expect both surface and bulk states to contribute to the emission spectrum. The dispersion of the surface states at ∠−1.0 eV (energy zero is taken at the valence-band maximum) near the ?′ point and at ∠−1.5 eV near the ? point are reproduced by the calculation, while the presence of the surface state at −4 eV near the ? point is not predicted by the calculation. The Se-s-like surface state is detected at ∠0.5–1.0 eV above the upper edge of the lower valence band. The emission features due to valence-band states are interpreted by a model which disregards conservation of the wave vector perpendicular to the surface. The energies of the valence-band states at the X, W, and L critical points are determined: X5 = −2.5, X3 = −5.25, W2 = −3.4, W1 = −5.1, and L1 = −5.7 eV.
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.
