15. Recently more proper notation has been proposed: c (4 × 4) α for c (4 × 4) and c (4 × 4) β for d (4 × 4). To avoid confusion/mixup with α -MnAs and β -MnAs, we have chosen to keep the old nomenclature in this paper. Also, relying on RHEED only, a precise distinction between c (4 × 4) α and c (4 × 4) β is not possible [A. Ohtake, J. Nakamura, S. Tsukamoto, N. Koguchi, and A. Natori, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.89.206102 89, 206102 (2002)]. This demands a thorough investigation and will be presented elsewhere.
