10. Several publications (Refs. 13, 17, and 18) quote an earlier LEED analysis of Duke et al., Ref. 4, where a smaller relaxation of the top-layer Zn of -0.3 Å and a larger displacement of O of -0.1 Å was found, leading to a smaller tilt of the Zn-O dimers. As is stated in Ref. 5, Ref. 4 is an analysis of the same experimental data, but the wrong structural bulk model of Ref. 29 was used. Additionally, several conceptual improvements were made in the reanalysis Ref. 5. Under these circumstances, the earlier publication should be disregarded in favor of the results of Ref. 5.
11. The LEED experiments are sometimes interpreted in literature as concluding that the surface dimer distance is expanded compared to the bulk situation (Refs. 13 and 192021) In these cases, the authors either refer to the older LEED analysis of Ref. 4, or they neglect the lateral displacement (formula presented) or misinterpret (formula presented) as a shift in the wrong direction. Indeed, the sign convention for the lateral displacements is not very clear in Ref. 5, but from the absolute atomic positions given in the summary of Ref. 5, it becomes clear that Zn relaxes toward the O ions, thereby shortening the Zn-O distance.

58. The data given in Ref. 20 is not consistent. In Table III we cite the bond-length values of Table 3, Ref. 20. Using the atomic displacements listed in Table 1, Ref. 20 will lead to different results for the back bond lengths.
