We study the two lowest-energy isomers of the Ge(111)-(2 X 1) surface, by a state-of-the-art first-principles calculation of their optical spectra, including the electron-hole interaction effectsl A comparison of our results with the available experimental data suggests that, at difference with the silicon case, the stablest isomer differs from the standard "buckled Pandey chains" reconstruction. This conclusion is supported by accurate total-energy results.
