Title: Photoemission Study of GaSe bilayer passivated Si(111) Author: Shuang Meng, B.R. Schroeder, A. Bostwick, Marjorie A. Olmstead Physics Dept., Univ. of Washington Eli Rotenberg, Advanced Light Source, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab F.S. Ohuchi, Dept. of Mat. Sci. & Eng., Univ. of Washington Si(111) 7x7 can be passivated by a GaSe bilayer grown at T$_{substrate}\ge$ 525$^o$C. The passivation is achieved by a single-domained GaSe bilayer bonding to surface Si and leaving Se lone-pairs on the surface. The atomic structure has been studied by component-resolved photoelectron diffraction (PED) and low-energy electron diffraction. We find that Ga sits directly atop surface Si with the Ga-Se bond aligned with the substrate Si-Si bond. Core-level photoemission shows Si to be in an extremely bulk-like environment, but angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy indicates that GaSe has a long range influence on the Si bands. PED shows strong (>20%) angular variation of the Ga 3d spin-orbit branching ratio, though not of the Se 3d ratio. This surprising result arises from spin-orbit variations in the complex photoionization matrix element amplified by subsequent scattering, as shown by relativistic multiple-scattering calculations. * Supported by NSF DMR9801302
