摘要：

Systematic calculations of the distributions that describe terrace-edge properties on vicinal surfaces are presented. These calculations provide a complete framework for the quantitative analysis of STM images. Using a simple one-dimensional model of vicinal terrace-edge structures, we calculate: the correlation length along the terrace edge; the distribution of kink lengths and kink separations at the edge; the distribution of zero-crossing separations; the distribution of edge displacements; the pinned-edge distribution.
