Abstract

The Cu adatom-induced localization of the two-dimensional Shockley surface state at the Cu(111) surface was identified from experimental and simulated scanning tunneling microscopy spectra. The localization gives rise to a resonance located just below the surface state band edge. The adatom-induced surface state localization is discussed in terms of the existence theorem for bound states in any attractive two-dimensional potential. We also identify adatom-induced resonance states deriving from atomic orbitals in both experimental and simulated spectra.
