The complexity of surface structures solved routinely with low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) has increased dramatically in recent years. This paper describes the evolution of the complexity that has become achievable, provides illustrations of complicated structures solved recently, and discusses the outlook for the future.

ABSTRACTRecent advances in the theory of low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) are reviewed. They primarily concern methods to handle the multiple scattering of electrons in an atomiclattice. These advances have allowed the structure determination by LEED of complex surface structures, including large-unit-cell overlayers of molecules, disordered and incommensurate overlayers, complex reconstructions and adsorbate-induced relaxations.
