Abstract
Significant effects of the long-range ''herringbone'' reconstruction o n the formation of standing waves in the Fermi-level surface-state ele ctron density were observed for the first time on an Au(111)-(23 x roo t (3) over bar) reconstructed surface using a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope at 30 K. Enhanced oscillation of the surface loc al density of states was observed, especially along the pairwise solit on walls, which suggests the possible existence of anisotropic wave pr opagation.
