Abstract

We report that the quality of atomic images reconstructed directly within the framework of holographic low energy electron diffraction can suffer from considerable atomic displacements. These are due to serious disturbances of the holographic object wave which exist when the object owns the same translational symmetry as the arrangement of beam splitters, for example when the latter induce a substrate reconstruction. We propose and test an iterative procedure for reducing these disturbances by a hybrid combination of the holographic reconstruction and some data fitting procedure. A reliable atomic image results after only a few iteration steps.
