Thin Mg films deposited onto a W(110) surface show a hexagonal close-packed structure in (0001) direction. Photoemission spectra in normal-emission geometry reveal a surface state inside the Shockley-inverted energy gap and quantum well oscillations on both sides of the gap.

We study the evolution of the surface and the quantum well states depending on the emission direction and Mg thickness. For Mg films exceeding 12 ML, both, surface and quantum well states disperse parabolic-like around the Γ point of the surface Brillouin zone. In thinner films, however, in off-normal geometry the surface state splits into several branches with different effective masses. We ascribe this phenomenon to the lattice mismatch between the Mg film and the underlying W substrate that may lead (i) to distortions of the surface geometry and (ii) variations of the confinement conditions at the Mg/W interface that reveal a periodicity different from that of the Mg lattice.
