Although a strictly ordered reconstructed crystal surface may have the two-dimensional symmetry prescribed by the bulk (two-dimensional subsymmetry of the 3-dimensional space group), it belongs more frequently to a subgroup. In the LEED-pattern a lower symmetry of the translation group can easily be detected on account of the superstructure reflections observed. In this case anti-phase domains can hardly be avoided. An even more difficult situation arises if the symmetry of the point group is violated, although the symmetry of the diffraction pattern is not altered at the end of the reconstruction. Twin domains without changes of lattice constants have to be taken into account.Dynamical scattering of anti-phase domains is calculated by applying the "Cluster embedded chain"-method for various distributions of domains. It is shown that the incoherent superposition of scattering amplitudes, normally applied in LEED-calculations may lead to serious errors in structure determination. This effect is even more pronounced for twin domains. As an example we discuss the reconstruction of the (001)-surface of Si and Ge, and show that the wellknown (2 X 1)-structure is an averaged structure only, consisting of anti-phase domains with the (4 x 2)-structure. It may be concluded therefrom that none of the present model structures of this reconstruction agrees with this experimental observation.
