Abstract
Gold, platinum and iridium (100) clean surfaces are reconstructed, the widely accepted model of the reconstruction is that the top layer is a slightly compressed hexagonal (111) plane. The aim of this paper is to show that there is an alternative model to explain the reconstruction that requires very little displacement of the surface atoms. No proof can be given of either model, but both of them should be used in LEED intensity calculations.
