26. Staggered underlying dimers induce a slight rotation of the ad dimers towards the [110] direction. This resulting surface stress can be removed if one considers a staggered arrangement with mirror symmetry in the plane containing the ad dimers, leading to a (Formula presented) reconstruction. This geometry lowers the energy of the ADD model, but not enough to compete with the ALT model.
