abstract = {A 1 mum diameter Pb crystallite, supported on Ru(001), was
equilibrated and imaged by scanning tunneling microscopy at
298 K. The vicinal shapes close to the (111) facet at the
top of the crystal were analyzed in detail to determine the
critical shape exponent and the step-step interaction energy
as well as the interaction constant of the potential. An
average shape exponent of 1.47 and a step interaction energy
of similar to32 meV/Angstrom(2) were obtained. The exponent
is very close to the theoretically predicted universal value
of 3/2 and as such provides clear evidence for a dominant
1/x(2) step interaction potential. The ratio of step free
energy to step interaction energy for Pb at 298 K is similar
to0.34.},
