I'm a beginner. Please let me know any textbook or journal where a detailed interpretation of the valence band (VB) spectra of a semiconductor and consequences was discussed.
Comparative studies from UPS spectra of an elemental Si with any other compound semiconductor like SiC would be better to understand concepts.
Thanks :-)
A good PES textbook would be S.Hüfner: Photoelectron spectroscopy, although at least my older edition is not specialized on semiconductors. For a start, i also found by a quick search:
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0368-2048(97)00261-2
But at the end of the day, IMO nothing replaces a good calculation.
In addition to Hufner's book you could consult the Handbook of X-rays and Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy (Chap. 9 & 10) edited by D. Briggs, Solid State Chemistry Techniques by Cheetham and Day (see section 3.5). It might help you to understand the information embedded in the valence band. There are very few books on UPS mostly research articles.
I hope this help as well.
Here is a nice overview from Washington State University, with some basic information and examples:

In Addition to S. Hüfner I recommend the book by Hans Lüth: "Solid Surfaces, Interfaces and Thin Films" at Springer
