Abstract

The morphology of Ge(001) has been investigated with a UHV - Scanning Tunneling Microscope. The Ge(001) surface was misoriented towards the [011] direction with a miscut angle varying from 0.4° to 5°. The surface stress was found to have considerable influence on the step edge configuration as well as the position of the steps with respect to each other.
