Received 9 September 1997

Ultrathin epitaxial Co films on Cr(110) are examined by high-resolution
low-energy electron diffraction. Pseudomorphic Co growth occurs over the
entire coverage range investigated, i.e., up to 30 ML. A periodic lattice
distortion is observed to exist in two equivalent (3 x 1) reconstruction
domains showing uniaxial superperiodicity along either one of the two
in-plane close-packed row directions. The lattice reconstruction is
extended over several atomic layers normal to the surface. It is concluded
that the overlayer reconstructs due to the constraint to adopt an
inherently unstable structure forced by pseudomorphism.
