Bulk Band Structure of CdTe along the Γ-L Direction

The valence band structure E(k) for CdTe (111) Cd side surface 2 x 2 reconstructed was investigated along the Γ-L direction of the bulk Brillouin zone by high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy method in the energy range between 9.5 eV and 30.0 eV. The E(k) dependence was determined as well for bulk as for some of the surface states in the whole width of the valence band. Obtained results are compared with available calculated bulk band structure along Γ-L direction.
