Abstract
The first K-resolved inverse photoemission study of a transition metal nitride has been performed on the (100) face of TiN 0.83. Energy band dispersions for empty states were recorded in the 〈011〉 and 〈010〉 azimuths for emitted photons at 9.8 eV. For the 〈011〉 azimuth, the recorded spectra were compared with direct transition models using free-electron or LAPW calculated empty bands. For the observed spectral features the latter model is slightly superior. In the 〈010〉 azimuth a surface sensitive feature was identified and is tentatively assigned to a Shockley surface state/resonance.
