Alkali Halides

  • Chapter
Noncontact Atomic Force Microscopy

Part of the book series: NanoScience and Technology ((NANO))

Abstract

Surfaces of alkali halide crystals have properties which make them interesting model surfaces for the surface science of insulators: they perfectly terminate ionic crystals, they are chemically inert, and they have no free electrons. Structural and point defects are well described. Some model systems for film growth like Au on NaCl have been extensively studied for decades. With the invention of force microscopy, experimental studies on the atomic scale became feasible. For the above reasons, surfaces of alkali halide crystals have become important test samples in the development of force microscopy. They were the first non-layered insulators whose atomic periodicity could be resolved [1,2]. However, only after the invention of non-contact dynamic force microscopy did true atomic resolution of single point defects and steps become possible.
