We have investigated the structure and composition of the ZnSe(100)c(2×2)–Zn surface. Contrary to prior assumptions, this surface is not terminated with Zn dimers, but, rather with a half monolayer of Zn atoms. This new structure markedly changes our understanding of the growth interface and should lead to better heteroepitaxial growth on this and similar surfaces.
