摘要：
The periodic lattice distortion (PLD) accompanying the charge-density-wave (CDW) transition (at -60 degrees C) in the a phase of Sn on Ge(lll) has been determined by combining the distinct sensitivities of low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and surface x-ray diffraction (SXRD). New LEED I-V data combined with a SXRD analysis yield a significant lattice distortion. The PLD accompanying the CDW transition is a 0.37-Angstrom vertical rippling of the Sn atoms accompanied by a perpendicular (0.17 Iq) and parallel (0.12 Angstrom) distortion of the first-layer Ge atoms, consistent with a band Jahn-Teller-like distortion.
