Angle-resolved UV photo-electron spectroscopy (ARUPS) was applied to the valence bands of the Ge(113) surface. Using the known Ge bulk band structure, the position of the valence-band maximum (VBM) relative to the Fermi level was measured. Electronic surface resonances were identified on the clean (3 × 2)-reconstructed surface. The dispersion of the surface resonances was studied in the main symmetry directions. It reflects the periodicity of the surface only along the [11̄0] azimuth but not along [332̄]. Adsorption of hydrogen leads to a change of the surface reconstruction to (3 × 1)-H connected with a quenching of the surface resonances found on the clean surface. Further hydrogenation changes the surface into a (1 × 1)-H structure and a dispersing H-induced state appears at −5.5 eV relative to the VBM.
