    We have studied the atomic structure of the View the MathML source reconstruction induced by adsorption of about 1.1 monolayers of Sn on Si(111) using surface X-ray diffraction (SXRD) and scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM). The experimentally obtained structure factors in SXRD are in contradiction with existing models in the literature and we conclude the need for a new surface atomic structure model. We have been able to determine a number of properties of an appropriate surface model to allow a better fit to the experimental structure factors
