17. As reported earlier [8], the hexagonal superstructure can be explained by the formation of a moiré-like pattern. In fact, the origin of the contrast in moiré-type STM images is quite complicated, since the STM image reflects the electronic states at the surface. In some cases, the contrast of the moiré patterns may depend strongly on the tunnelling parameters used for imaging (see, for instance: K. Kobayashi, Phys. Rev. B 50 (1994) 4749).
