23. The intensity of 2D mage of photoemission spectra for Pb / Ge (111) - √ 3 × √ 3 R 30° in Fig. was intentionally enhanced. The intensities of four bands are actually weak.
24. Due to special ratio of k F and layer spacing for Pb(111) film, the QWR gets close to Fermi level and interact with Ge valence-band maximum every two layers. Therefore the data of 1, 3, and 5 ML are not shown, wherein the QWR are relatively far from Fermi level and more free-electronlike.

26. 3), Ge(111) surface is estimated to be 388 Å, corresponding to ∼210 layers. Even though we only used a 36-layer slab model to approximate the subbands of space-charge layer, the surface resonance feature extracted, which resembles NSO band is still valid. A 108-layer slab model was ever used and the result is similar.
