Abstract

Using a combination of photoelectron diffraction and scanning tunnelling microscopy the Cu(100)c(2 x 2)-N surface is shown to undergo a symmetry-lowering reconstruction with a strong (0.34 Angstrom) periodic distortion of the outermost Cu layer perpendicular to the surface. The rumpling reconstruction is shown to account for N-N attractions which create c(2 x 2) islands and the systematic behaviour of inter-island boundary widths in the mesoscopic self-organization of this surface.
