Abstract
A method is disclosed for determining the three-dimensional atomic structure of systems that are periodic in two dimensions, a-periodic in the third dimension, and are commensurate with an underlying three-dimensional crystal. The system is considered as composed of two components: an unknown system periodic in two dimensions, a-periodic in the third with an unknown structure and a known system also periodic in two dimensions with a known structure. The two systems are commensurate with each other. The method provides the structure of the unknown and therefore of the entire system.
