The structure of silicene, the two-dimensional honeycomb sheet of Si, grown on Ag(111) was investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Two atomic arrangements of honeycomb configuration were found by STM, which are confirmed by LEED and DFT calculations; one is 4 x 4 and the other is root 13 x root 13 R13.9 degrees In the 4 x 4 structure, the honeycomb lattice remains with six atoms displaced vertically, whereas the root 13 x root 13 R13.9 degrees takes the regularly buckled honeycomb geometry.
