Abstract

The quasi-one-dimensional Si(553)-Au surface is investigated with time-resolved two-photon photoemission and laser-based photoemission. Several occupied and unoccupied states inside and outside the bulk band gap of silicon were found near the center of the surface Brillouin zone. A nondispersing unoccupied state 0.62 eV above the Fermi level with a lifetime of 125 fs matches the spin-split silicon step-edge state predicted by density functional theory calculations. Two occupied bands can be associated with the bands calculated for nonpolarized step-edge atoms.
