abstract = {Na2IrO3 is an intriguing material for which spin-orbit
coupling plays a key role. Theoretical predictions have been
made that the surface of Na2IrO3 should exhibit a clear
signature of the quantum spin Hall effect. We studied the
surface of Na2IrO3 using scanning tunneling microscopy and
density-functional theory calculations. We observed atomic
level resolution of the surface and two types of
terminations with different surface periodicity and Na
content. By comparing bias-dependent experimental
topographic images to simulated images, we determined the
detailed atomistic structure of both observed surfaces. One
of these reveals a strong relaxation to the surface of Na
atoms from the subsurface region two atomic layers below.
Such dramatic structural changes well below the surface are
highly unusual and cast doubt on any prediction of surface
properties based on bulk electronic structure. Indeed, using
spatially resolved tunneling spectroscopy, we found no
indication of the predicted quantum spin Hall behavior.},
