We report on an angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) study of Dy-Ge compounds grown epitaxially on Ge(111). Two different phases for thick and thin films were found. We got a √3×√3R30^∘ LEED-pattern for thick films, which is also obtained in the case of epitaxially grown RE-silicides. However, from a comparision of the PE data with LDA-LCAO band structure calculations, a different crystal strcture as the R₃Si₅ structure of the RE-silicides is concluded. Simple structure-formation models and possible explanations of this behaviour will be discussed.
