Abstract
Using high-resolution core-level photoelectron spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation, we have studied Ge(1 1 1)2 Ã 1-Sb and Ge(1 1 1)(â3 Ã â3)R30°-Bi reconstructions formed at the metal coverage of 1 and 1/3 monolayers, respectively. The spectral line shape analysis shows that for the both surfaces, the Ge 3d emission includes one component, giving evidence for the bulk-terminated structure of the Ge substrate in these phases. The Bi 5d emission from the Ge(1 1 1)(â3 Ã â3)R30°-Bi surface reveals an intense component related to the Bi atoms at the T4 site in the â3 structure, in agreement with previous ab initio calculations. Another small Bi 5d component is assigned to Bi-Bi bondings in metallic Bi clusters. The Sb 4d spectra of the Ge(1 1 1)(2 Ã 1)-Sb surface can be reproduced well by a single component, suggesting that the Sb atoms in the Seiwatz chains have similar bonding configuration.
