There is ongoing debate about the (1 × 2) reconstruction

• (110), Foulston et al. identified round shaped protrusions at liquid nitrogen temperature, which were oriented along the missing row lines of the (1 × 2) reconstruction of the Au(110) surface, but without long-range ordering along the lines or strict correlations between neighbouring lines. These
