The atomic structure of the In on Si (111)(4×1) surface has been determined using direct methods applied to transmission electron diffraction data. It consists of a zigzag chain of In atoms and a region of silicon including a dimer chain. The structure is sufficiently similar to recent models of the Au on Si (111)(5×2) and metal on Si (111)(3×1) structures, that some preliminary generalizations on the linear n×1 and n×2 Si(111) reconstructions can be made.
