Abstract

Results of a study of the Au (110) reconstruction using medium-energy-ion scattering with channeling and blocking are reported. The data show clear and direct evidence for a missing-row model, unequivocally demonstrate that the first-layer spacing undergoes a large contraction, and show the presence of distortions in deeper layers. This model is similar to one derived from analysis of low-energy electron-diffraction data, but differs qualitatively with conclusions from x-ray scattering and transmission electron diffraction.
