The low density of Sb dimets with (2 × 5) symmetry in the "(1 × 5)" structure as compared with those with (1 × 5) symmetry, their random alignment across the (1 × 5) dimer rows, and their height below the dimer rows all could contribute to making the 2 × 5 symmetry very difficult to observe in RHEED.
