摘要：

We present atomic islands with atomic-scale on the (100) alkali halide surfaces observed with atomic force microscopy (AFM), which are produced by a tow-energy electron irradiation. The influence on the height profile of an atomic island due to the finite curvature radius of a tip asperity used as a probe is exhibited. It is revealed that the high-bright regions due to these atomic islands appear by the electron irradiation and the images in the vicinity of these high-bright regions have a tendency to lose atomic periodicity.
