The unoccupied surface electronic structure of Gd(0001) was investigated with high-resolution inverse-photoemission spectroscopy. An empty surface state near [ital E][sub [ital F]] is observed at [bar [Gamma]]. Two other surface-sensitive features are also revealed at 1.2 and 3.1 eV above the Fermi level. Hydrogen adsorption on Gd surfaces was used to distinguish the surface-sensitive features from the bulk features. The unoccupied bulk-band critical points are determined to be [Gamma][sub 3][sup +] at 1.9 eV and [ital A][sub 1] at 0.8 eV.
