Abstract

âº DFT calculations reproduce the ARPES band structure of the Pb/Si(111)-7Â ÃÂ 3 surface. âº Metallic states originate from the in-plane Pb-Pb bondings. âº Triple-domain effects are essential in explaining the measured band structure. âº The measured (1Â ÃÂ 1) Fermi surface results from the triple domain.
