Abstract
Abstract Thin films of tin were prepared by vacuum deposition on an UHV-cleaved sodium chloride substrate at room temperature in order to study the growth features. The small particles of tin, which were examined by high resolution TEM and electron diffraction, grew graphoepitaxially on steps, whereas those on flat areas were located and oriented almost randomly. The results, therefore, indicate that several works concerning teh epitaxial growth of tin that has been reported so far have been performed on surfaces with a high density of steps parallel to the 〈100〉 direction of the substrate.
