Abstract

The specific features of the electron states in thin films of cubic crystals are considered in the energy range above the vacuum zero of the crystal potential. It is demonstrated that bands of bound states embedded in the energy continuum can exist along particular directions of the two-dimensional Brillouin zone. These bands can substantially affect the intensity of low-energy electron scattering.
