Abstract
Scanning force microscopy reveals features interpreted as chloride ion vacancies or substitutional surface impurities on NaCl (100) at room temperature. Monatomic step edges have been imaged as well. Using an evacuable chamber backfilled with helium at controlled humidity, studies of image resolution versus ambient moisture and tip force are described. The goal of this work is an atomresolving probe of surface modifications resulting from radiation-induced desorption and damage phenomena.
