Abstract
We demonstrate that the limited coherence length of a one-dimensional quasi
periodically ordered superstructure of a thin Ag film on GaAs(110) surfaces
is due to structural defects. We identify dislocations, phason defects, an
d domain walls. The domain walls end at dislocations, whose stress field is
found to induce a wide distribution of oriented phason defects. (C) 2000 E
