Abstract

A calculation of the electron states associated with the unreconstructed (111) diamond surface is performed using Slater‐Koster parameters evaluated from first principles. The calculation gives a surface band in the lower half of the band gap. Close agreement with a self‐consistent pseudopotential calculation is found when the matrix elements of the surface atom is modified to contain non‐spherical parts of the potential.
