We investigated the Sb adsorption on Ge(113) by grazing incidence x-ray diffraction. The Sb superstructure was prepared by depositing 3/4 ML Sb from a Knudsen cell on the clean Ge(113) surface at room temperature and subsequent annealing to about 800 K. With a high resolution LEED system (SPA-LEED) a (2x2) superstructure with sharp spots is observed. From this structure an x-ray data set was taken with our UHV six circle diffractometer at the wiggler beam line W1.1. The spots at the (2x2) positions were too weak to be measured. At a wavelength of 1.2 Å 250 symmetrically inequivalent structure factors were recorded. In the analysis the Sb-positions and the Ge-positions in the top 4 substrate layers, isotropic temperature factors and one scale factor have been refined, altogether 69 free parameters. The analysis showed that Sb occupies three symmetrically inequivalent sites, breaks one Ge-Ge bond and forms a dimer with a bond length of 2.875 Å. This model has been proposed previously by Dabrowski et al. [1] for Sb/Si(113).
