3- fold symmetry Strain in the one direction is relaxed over whole surface in 2 dimensions
Au{111} 23 x 3 120 degree turns give uniform contraction!
Dimensions: Bulk Au = 2.88 A Therefore in direction spacing = 2.88 A In direction spacing = 2.75 A 110 112 That’s why Maksymovych et al. say average distance = 2.81 A
Au Surface 6 K February 20 Run 4 _3 X = 19.2 nm Y = 19.2 nm Z = 185.1 pm Run 5_2 X = 12.5 nm Y = 12.5 nm Z = 46.13 pm Atomic Resolution Herringbones Adsorbates Atomic resolution Herringbones
Au Surface 6 K SULFUR ATOM AT STEP EDGE? February 20 Run 4_1 X = 19.2 nm Y = 19.2 nm Z = 296.5 pm Adsorbate not on HB Run 3_1 X = 61.7 nm Y = 58.6 nm Z = 432.6 pm
Au Surface 6 K February 20 Run 10_1 X = 125 nm Y = 125 nm Z = 620.9 pm 0.5 V 0.2 nA Adsorbates seen at elbows after heating – styrene?
What about the elbows? hcp fcc hcp fcc fcc hcp
Screw Dislocation: STMA 1004, Vtip = 0.05 V/ 200pA 170 Å x 170 Å
Herringbone Defect February 11 run 2_2 80 K 0.5 V Airlegs down X = 7.16 nm Y = 8.62 nm Z = 60.71 pm Steps, terraces, herringbones, missing atom at HB elbow.
Au atoms and defect February 10, run 3_15 80 K Airlegs down 2-D X = 34.8 nm Y = 21.0 nm Z = 76.84 pm Gold atoms, defect in terrace.
CAN WE MODEL THE ELBOW AND UNDERSTAND THE MISSING ATOM AT THE ELBOW? CAN WE RECORD ATOMIC IMAGES OF Au{111} AT 7 K?
Naturally Chiral Surfaces STM of Cu{643} at 80 Kelvin Cu{643} sample was cleaned with 5 cycles of sputtering with Argon at 1.5 keV / 14 µA for 40 min with a 1000 K anneal for 2-3 mins at the end of each cycle.

Next 7 Kelvin Run; Starts Friday: Put in a new tip (W) B4 cold Check Springs are ok Au{111} atomic res? Cu{643} at 7 K – many images to do stats. MCHO dosed on crystal – adsorbs where? MCHO movie while doing 0.2 x 10-11 This week: Movies – so we can see herringbones in every frame
