15. We follow the usual notation in quoting RHEED patterns from a surface with hexagonal symmetry, namely, listing the number of fractional-order streaks (plus one for the integer-order streak) observed with the electron beam along 〈2110* and 〈0110〉 directions, respectively. The latter is not a primitive lattice vector so that, e.g., a √3×√3-R30° reconstruction leads to a 1×3 RHEED pattern.
