摘要
Scanning tunneling microscopy and LEED reveal that on regularly stepped Ni(771) the oxygen-driven missing-row reconstruction of the (110) terraces proceeds in a very transparent manner: Substrate atoms can move to adjacent terraces without crossing steps, where they line up with remaining atom rows to form linear O-Ni chains. On the resulting double-width terraces perfect missing-row structures all over the surface are formed in contrast to flat Ni(110); to surmount the double-step barrier, elevated temperatures (greater-than-or-equal-to 250-degrees-C) are required.
