摘要
The organic molecule PTCDA preferentially adsorbs on steps of vicinal Ag(111) surfaces and bunches them to well defined facet planes. These depend on coverage and annealing temperature and are independent of the nominal step direction and angle of inclination of the unreconstructed initial surface. We study the development of the facets and present a map of all 16 types of facets in a stereographic triangle of 35 off the [111]-direction. The faceting mechanism is interpreted as orientational phase separation originating from different bonding strengths of PTCDA on various facets. The faceting drives the system to the minimum of its surface free energy. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
