• The substrate for this writing was a faceted gold ball, which has rather large atomically flat terraces.

  Academic text (1995)

• Steps are always present because surfaces are never atomically flat over large dimensions.

  Academic text (1998)

• Mica is atomically smooth, and so two mica surfaces can be in very close contact.

  Academic text (1999)

• In his vision, he talked about having a billion tiny factories able to manufacture fully functional, atomically precise nano-devices.

• (f) Heating the surface can repair a damaged or imperfect tip: subsequent field evaporation now reveals an atomically perfect third layer.

  Academic text (2006)

• If the tip is atomically sharp, then measuring the density of states of the tip apex atom and the sample atom makes it possible to identify the chemical element of the sample atom.

• Atomically sharp tips, when used as an ion source, are the smallest point sources that provide a brightness comparable to sources in focused-ion-beam devices now used for imaging and lithography.

• As the temperature approaches the melting point from below, x-ray experiments have shown that the (1,0,0) faces become rough while the (1,1,1) faces stay atomically smooth, even at temperatures well above the bulk melting temperature of Pb.

  Academic text (1995)

• Researchers had previously believed that even though such layers could be atomically perfect, there would still be enough roughness at the interfaces between the layers to scatter heat-transporting quasi-particles, called phonons, as they moved through the superlattice.
