“…The (001) surface of bulk magnetite has been the subject of many experimental studies aimed at determining its structure, using tools including low-energy electron diffraction [8,9], X-ray photoelectron diffraction [10], low-energy ion scattering [11,12], scanning tunneling microscopy [10,13,14,15] and spectroscopy [16]. The most common surface reconstruction, 2× 2R45°, has been alternatively interpreted as octahedral-iron √ √ terminated with a Jahn-Teller distortion [17] or as tetrahedral-iron terminated.…”
