Abstract

We report the observation of a 1D molecular adsorbate band structure caused by direct adsorbate-adsorbate interactions on a semiconductor.For ethylene chemisorbed on Si(001)-(2×1) two adsorbate-derived electronic states, 1b3u and 1b2g, are found to delocalize along the Si-Si dimer rows.The corresponding bands can be followed in reciprocal space from the Γ¯ point into the third surface Brillouin zone.Density functional calculations for ethylene adsorbed on a silicon slab reproduce the experimental 1D band structure and allow us to identify the origin of the lateral interactions.
