Abstract
We report on a STM study of clean W(110) and the so-called R(15 x 3) a nd R(15 x 12) carbon-induced reconstructions of the W(110) surface on the atomic scale. The dimensions of the unit cells of both reconstruct ions, until now only known from diffraction experiments, are confirmed . Depending on the tunnelling gap resistance the inner structure of th e R(15 x 3) unit cell is resolved. The experimental results provide st rong evidence, that this structure is formed by a periodic surface lat tice deformation.
