The applicability of photoelectron holography to determine the structu
re of clean and adsorbate-covered metal surfaces is investigated. The
real space structure of various systems is reconstructed from photoele
ctron diffraction patterns at various kinetic energies using (1) the s
ingle wavenumber and (2) the multiple wavenumber reconstruction algori
thm. It is demonstrated that adsorption sites can be unequivocally ide
ntified using the multiple wavenumber approach.
