Recently, the dispersion relations of surface electronic states of pristine Ni(111) has been probed by quasiparticle interference (QPI) [1]. In agreement with earlier inverse photoemission experiments [2] an exchange-split and upward dispersing Shockley-type sp-derived surface state was observed. In a follow-up investigation we have studied the electronic properties of step edges surrounding hexagonally shaped vacancy islands by means of low-temperature scanning tunneling spectroscopy. Our results indicate that A- or B-steps are markedly different. While one type of step edge is essentially featureless, local tunneling spectra measured on the other exhibit an additional peak. By comparison with density functional theory calculations we discuss if this peak can potentially be interpreted as a one-dimensional edge state.
