IDENTIFICATIONS OF EMPTY SURFACE STATES ON Au(110): COMMENT ON 'THE 1x1 TO 1x2 PHASE TRANSITION OF Au(110): AN INVERSE PHOTOEMISSION STUDY'.
01 January 1990
It is argued that the inverse photoemission features {S prime} sub 2 and {B prime} sub 2 observed on Au(110) by Drube et al (Surf. Sci. 214, L253 (1989)) are not a consequence surface umklapp associated with the (2x1) reconstruction, but are intrinsic surface states which occur irrespective of surface reconstruction.
