Abstract
The main results of Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) studies of the morphology of copper surfaces are presented. It illustrates the abili ty of this technique to investigate the relationship between surface m orphology and the atomic mechanisms which determine it. The first stud y concerns the equilibrium fluctuations of steps on surfaces vicinal f rom (100), the second the vacancy and adatom islands generated by low energy ion bombardment on the (100) face of copper.
