Optical-beam-deflection atomic force microscopy: The NaCl (001) surface
Abstract
We have imaged, in ultrahigh vacuum, the (001) surface of NaCl using an optical-beam-deflectin force microscope operating in the short-range repulsive regime. The design and performance characteristics of the microscope are given, and the observed atomic corrugations are compared with those deduced from He-atom scattering experiments.
