Abstract
Ab initio calculations of the reflectance anisotropy of Si(111)-In surfaces are presented. A very pronounced optical anisotropy around 2eV is found that is related to In-chain states. The distortion of the indium chains characteristic for the (4×1)→(8×2) phase transition results in a splitting of the 2eV peak, as observed experimentally. The splitting occurs irrespective wether the phase transition occurs according to the trimer or hexamer model.
