We have studied the valence band and surface-core-level states for laser-annealed, thermally-annealed, and cleaved Ge(111) and Si(l11) surfaces with high resolution photoelectronspectroscopy using synchrotron radiation. For the annealed surfaces we find two surface states near the top of the valence band as well as characteristic surface core level spectra. These indicate the existence of a common local bonding geometry for all these surfaces. We observe that the (1 × 1) and cleaved (2 × 1) surfaces are not related as recently reported for Si.
