Abstract
We have studied the energy-resolved momentum density of evaporated amorphous germanium and the effect of hydrogen adsorption using a surface-sensitive solid state (e,2e) spectrometer with estimated energy and momentum resolutions of about 2.0 eV and 0.15 au, respectively. Experimental evidence has been obtained which suggests the existence of dangling-bond surface states spreading from around -2 to -10 eV within a momentum range of 0.55 to 0.95 au in the valence-band region. Hydrogen-induced features are found at energies from -7 to -13 eV between momenta of 0.15 and 0.85 au. (10 References).
