Surface electronic structure of InSb(100) 4 × 1 studied by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy

The surface electronic structure of the In-rich InSb(100)4 X 1 surface has been studied by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. To determine the origin of different contributions in spectra, direct bulk interband transitions were first identified using a semi-empirical band structure calculation and assuming direct transitions into free electron-like final bands. Three surface-induced features were identified and their dispersions have been mapped along symmetry directions of the surface Brillouin zone.
