摘要：
The (0001) surface of alpha-Al2O3 single crystals has been imaged by atomic force microscopy in water. The observed hexagonal lattice arrangement has a period of 4.7 angstrom, in good agreement with the known bulk unit cell. The sample cleaning procedure was found to be crucial in obtaining clean terraces and achieving lattice resolution.
