Abstract
K3Na(SeO4)(2) single crystal cleaved surfaces were imaged by means of an atomic force microscope in air. The images revealed atomically flat terraces 500 nm wide, with steps, this height being the multiple of t he K3Na(SeO4)(2) c/2 lattice constant. For the first time, atomic reso lution was observed on the KNSe crystal surface in air. Correlation be tween the images obtained and crystal structure is discussed. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
