Title
Geometric Nano-Pop-Art
Technique
Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM)
Description
STM image of straight monoatomic steps originated after a controlled crash of the tip against the surface. The crash creates stacking failures that propagate into the bulk, resulting in steps at the surface following straight lines along the crystallographic directions of the crystal.
