Title
High resolution AFM images of the single-crystal alpha-Al2O3(0001) surface in water
Author/Creator
Gan, Yang;  Franks, George Vincent
Description
The (0001) surface of alpha-Al2O3 single crystals has been imaged by atomic force microscopy in water. The observed hexagonal lattice arrangement has a period of 4.7 angstrom, in good agreement with the known bulk unit cell. The sample cleaning procedure was found to be crucial in obtaining clean terraces and achieving lattice resolution.
