| It is well-know that one of the differences of atomic structure between surface and bulk is surface reconstruction, for instance, the 7 × 7 reconstruction of the Si {111} surface [1]. Researchers have studied surface reconstruction and its dependence on crystallographic and thermodynamic variables, and the phenomenon is now well-established for many types of solids.
