The modification of spectra of quantum well states of sp-type in thin Al films on the W(110) surface was experimentally investigated by angular-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy both during deposition and in dependence of the detection angle. Quantum well states are observed for the partially filled band of valence states in the range of binding energies from 4.4 eV to the Fermi level. An Al film with a thickness of 11 monolayers exhibits a jump of the dispersion relations of quantum well states in the local W(110) band gap in the ΓS direction and splitting of these relations due to the effect of substrate electronic structure on the formed spectrum of quantum states and their possible spin polarization.
