56. Preliminary results using a larger sample (6912 atoms) and a simulation cell commensurate with the 2 × 2 surface unit cell confirm the results presented in Sec. VII: the 2 × 2 reconstruction is the only recognizable feature in the surface structure, but its order is limited to relatively short range (up to ∼10 Å).
