Abstract
Refined structure of (√5x√3) surface reconstruction induced by Sb adsorbed on Si(111) was obtained from X-ray diffraction, using a Patterson function and a least-squares fit. A wide range of reciprocal space was probed to get information for the lateral and the vertical displacements of adsorbate and the top layers of Si. The Patterson function confirms the "milk stool" trimer model, which, according to a least-squares fit, is centered on the T4 site. The thermal vibration amplitudes of Sb ad-atoms and those of surface layers of Si were obtained and comparison with the values in other surfaces are made,
