The structure of an Al(111)3x3-Si surface was examined by combining data from positron diffraction and core-level photoemission spectroscopy. Analysis of the diffraction rocking curves indicated that the overlayer had a flat honeycomb lattice structure. Simulations of Si core-level spectra calculated via the first-principles indicated that one of the Si atoms in the unit cell was replaced by an Al atom. The surface superstructure was thus a two-dimensional layer of Al-embedded silicene on Al(111).
