  • Experimental RT STM revealed distinct features confirming the c(8×2) reconstruction.
  • DFT calculations identified stable structures for 4×2 and c(8×2) reconstructions.
  • Calculated STM images for the c(8×2) reconstruction closely matched experimental observations.
  • A proposed defect structure was found to be less visible in STM images.

Conclusions:

  • The c(8×2) reconstruction of the InSb(001) surface is confirmed.
  • The ζ-model provides an accurate description of the observed surface structure.
  • The study provides a comprehensive comparison between experimental and theoretical findings for InSb(001).
