Figure1.1 Reconstruction

Schematic of several surface unit-meshes.
Reconstruction/Overlayers have a surface lattice unit-mesh with is different from that of the bulk unit-mesh projected unto to surface.
Vectors (a_b,b_b) form the bulk-like unit-mesh projected onto the surface planes.
Vectors (a_s,b_s) form the surface unit-mesh.
The examples are: (a) 1x1, (b) 2x2, (c) rt3xrt3-30, and (d) 1x3.
