The Ni 2 P (0001) single crystal surface was characterized by low‐energy electron diffraction (LEED) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to determine the atomic‐scale structure of the surface. LEED patterns revealed the presence of a sharp (1 × 1) structure and a reconstructed structure (2/3 × 2/3), while STM measurements showed only a well‐ordered (1 × 1) hexagonal structure. We found that the reconstructed (2/3 × 2/3) structure might be related to a Ni rearrangement that maintains the phosphorus (1 × 1) structure. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
