Bromine etching of mesoscopic structures on Cu(210): a scanning tunneling microscopy study

The etching of Cu(210) by bromine has been investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy. Cu(210) etches at lower temperatures compared to low-index Cu planes resulting in a series of superstructures and stepped planes. In particular, a two-dimensional mesoscopic triangular checkerboard pattern f...
