Determination of the amplitude of surface-atom oscillations by field ion microscopy
Mikhailovskii I. M. , Dranova Zh. I.
A method is proposed for determining the amplitude of the oscillations of surface atoms on jogs of close-packed planes. The amplitude of the oscillations is calculated from the rate of low-temperature evaporation of the metals in strong electric fields; this rate is measured with the aid of a field ion microscope.
