dc.description.abstractSTM images show that vicinal Au(788) surfaces are made up or a uniform array of (111)-oriented terraces of similar width (similar to3.8 nm). This uniformity makes it possible to study the electronic Structure of the resulting step superlattice by angle-resolved photoemission. We show that for this terrace array the surface state appears to be broken up into one-dimensional quantum-well levels, indicating total electron confinement within the terraces. The angular resolution allows the probability density of the terrace quantum well state to be mapped in reciprocal space, complementing nicely the wave function measured in real space by STM.

[10] This is the average of the different values found in the literature, that vary from 0.24 3 me to 0.28 3 me. The most recent photoemission study, S. LaShell, B. A. McDougall, and E. Jensen, Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 3419 (1996), gives 0.25 3me. [11] The data points in Fig. 3 display some random variation within the error bars, which can be interpreted as a narrow bandwidth. From this bandwidth we can estimate an upper limit for the transmission probability across the step barrier using a simple one-dimensional Kronig-Penney model. We obtain a maximum value of |T| = 0.1 and |T| = 0.19 for the first and the second levels, respectively. [12] Our own measurement of E0,flat for Au(111) was also done at 300 K and agrees with the literature. See, for instance, R. Paniago, R. Matzdorf, G. Meister, and A. Goldmann, Surf. Sci. 336, 113 (1995). [13] W. Chen, V. Madhavan, T. Jamneala, and M. F. Crommie, Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 1469 (1998). [14] F. J. García de Abajo et al. (to be published). 107601-4 1
