A structural analysis of the interplanar spacing (d) of the Cu(110) surface is reported, using medium-energy-ion scattering in a channeling and blocking experiment. Evidence is presented for a model with a multilayer oscillatory change in d with {Δ}d₁₂=(-7.5±{}1.5)% and {Δ}d₂₃=(+2.5±{}1.5)%. These values are in good agreement with those found with low-energy-electron diffraction but {Δ}d₁₂ is larger than that found by previous ion-scattering experiments. The model provides excellent agreement between data and Monte Carlo simulations.
