 note = {The electronic structure of Bi(001) ultrathin films (thickness 7 bilayers) on Si(111)-7×7 was studied by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and first-principles calculations. In contrast with the semimetallic nature of bulk Bi, both the experiment and theory demonstrate the metallic character of the films with the Fermi surface formed by spin-orbit-split surface states (SSs) showing little thickness dependence. Below the Fermi level, we clearly detected quantum well states (QWSs) at the M̄ point, which were surprisingly found to be non-spin-orbit split; the films are "electronically symmetric" despite the obvious structural nonequivalence of the top and bottom interfaces. We found that the SSs hybridize with the QWSs near M̄ and lose their spin-orbit-split character. © 2006 The American Physical Society., 金沢大学理工研究域数物科学系},
