Abstract
In situ electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (EC-STM) was used to examine the zinc-terminated ZnO(0001)-Zn surface in electrolyte solution. A tomically-flat terrace-step structures were consistently observed on the su rface which was prepared by chemical etching in alkaline solutions. Steps o bserved on the surface were composed of bilayers with a step height of 0.26 nm. Atomic images obtained by in situ EC-STM revealed that the surface has a (1x1) structure with hexagonal lattice.
