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 In 110 112 direction spacing = 2. 88 A direction spacing = 2. 75 A 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 Adsorbates Atomic resolution Herringbones Run 5_2 X = 12. 5 nm Y = 12. 5 nm Z = 46. 13 pm Atomic Resolution Herringbones

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 ke. V / 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) B 4 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
