Straight sections of step edges on a NiAl(110) curved single crystal surface used to calculate an approximation of step formation energy
Curved crystals may feature a smooth transition between different vicinal surfaces. Using one curved single crystal to study different vicinal surfaces requires less experimental time than using several single flat crystals. Here, we study step distributions on the (110) plane of a curved NiAl single-crystal surface, which consists of alternating Ni and Al atom rows. We use scanning tunneling microscopy under UHV conditions at room temperature and our home-built Python-based analysis script to obtain statistical information on kink and straight sections along step-edge distributions from STM images. We perform this analysis mainly to study this single crystal’s kink distributions and step termination We propose a new method to estimate the step formation energy based on step edge analysis and statistical mechanics. With this method, we find an approximation of the step formation energy for NiAl(110).
期刊介绍：
Surface Science is devoted to elucidating the fundamental aspects of chemistry and physics occurring at a wide range of surfaces and interfaces and to disseminating this knowledge fast. The journal welcomes a broad spectrum of topics, including but not limited to:
• model systems (e.g. in Ultra High Vacuum) under well-controlled reactive conditions
• nanoscale science and engineering, including manipulation of matter at the atomic/molecular scale and assembly phenomena
• reactivity of surfaces as related to various applied areas including heterogeneous catalysis, chemistry at electrified interfaces, and semiconductors functionalization
• phenomena at interfaces relevant to energy storage and conversion, and fuels production and utilization
• surface reactivity for environmental protection and pollution remediation
• interactions at surfaces of soft matter, including polymers and biomaterials.
Both experimental and theoretical work, including modeling, is within the scope of the journal. Work published in Surface Science reaches a wide readership, from chemistry and physics to biology and materials science and engineering, providing an excellent forum for cross-fertilization of ideas and broad dissemination of scientific discoveries.
