Abstract
Atomic force microscopy has been used to study structures formed on th e surface of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite by the evaporation of n-hexadecane. The surface is decorated with isolated, irregularly shap ed features on the terraces and long features associated with steps on the graphite surface. Some features also show sharp peaks. A model is proposed for the features. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
