Period-dependent suppression of Fourier peaks for topography images: Analysis of periodicity of triple-step arrays on vicinal Si(h h m) surfaces
A. Yu. Aladyshkin, A. N. Chaika, V. N. Semenov +3
Reliable determination of the periodicity of multiatomic steps on high-Miller-index vicinal surfaces is often complicated by (i) the presence of relatively narrow terraces tilted a…
Atomically precise triple-step staircase on a vicinal silicon surface: Is it Si(5 5 7), Si(7 7 10) or Si(8 8 11)?
A. N. Chaika, A. Yu. Aladyshkin, V. N. Semenov +3
Scanning tunneling microscopy studies of periodic arrays of triple steps fabricated on single-crystalline Si(5 5 7) wafers demonstrate several possible atomic structures of consecu…
Effective removal of global tilt from topography images of vicinal surfaces with narrow terraces
A. Yu. Aladyshkin, A. N. Chaika, V. N. Semenov +2
The main feature of vicinal surfaces of crystals characterized by the Miller indices (hhm) is rather small width (less than 10 nm) and substantially large length (more than 200 nm)…
Visualization of Atomic Structures on Faceted and Nonflat Surfaces by the Difference-of-Gaussians Approach
A. Yu. Aladyshkin, A. N. Chaika, V. N. Semenov +3
Detailed analysis of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) data acquired for faceted and non-flat surfaces is usually complicated due to the presence of a large number of surface areas t…
