abstract = {Equilibrium crystal shapes exhibit flat facets and rough
vicinal surfaces. with transitions between them being either
continuous or discontinuous, the latter recognizable by a
sharp edge. In general, mixed repulsive/attractive step-step
interactions may lead to continuous or discontinuous
facet-to-vicinal transitions. In can be shown that the
contact angle at the facet for a discontinuous transition is
directly related to the ratio of the step interaction
strengths. Alternatively, surface reconstruction of facets
can also be responsible for sharp edges at the facet
boundary. In this case the contact angle is related to the
difference between surface free energies of the
reconstructed and unreconstructed facet as well as the
corresponding difference of step interaction energies.
Fitting the experimental shapes by theoretical expressions
can be used to extract the relevant surface and step free
energies and also step interaction energies. Experimental
examples of Pb and Au equilibrium shapes are evaluated and
discussed. Step free energies of vicinal Au(1 1 1) and Au(1
0 0) surfaces, evaluated by both models, are 30 and 10
meV/A(2), respectively. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All
