Adsorption of glycine on Cu(001) and related step faceting and bunching
Adsorption of glycine on the Cu(001) surface has been studied with scanning tunneling microscopy. In addition to confirming the Cu(001)c(2×4)-glycine to be the major superstructure on the surface, it has been found that on the surface all steps are faceted to 〈310〉 directions and that the faceted st...

Zusammenfassung: | Adsorption of glycine on the Cu(001) surface has been studied with scanning tunneling microscopy. In addition to confirming the Cu(001)c(2×4)-glycine to be the major superstructure on the surface, it has been found that on the surface all steps are faceted to 〈310〉 directions and that the faceted steps may bunch together to form Cu{3
