Abstract
We report real space views of the homoepitaxial growth of Fe on Fe(001 ) whiskers observed by scanning tunneling microscopy. A measure of the surface diffusion of the Fe atoms is obtained over the temperature ra nge of 20-250-degrees-C. The effect of the diffusion kinetics is obser ved in the surface morphology as a decrease in the interface width wit h temperature. Measurements of reflection-high-energy-electron diffrac tion during growth allow a comparison of real and reciprocal space tec hniques.
