abstract = {For hexagonal nets, descriptive of {111} fcc surfaces, we
derive from combinatoric arguments a simple, low-temperature
formula for the orientation dependence of the surface step
line tension and stiffness, as well as the leading
correction, based on the Ising model with nearest-neighbor
(NN) interactions. Our formula agrees well with experimental
data for both Ag and Cu{111} surfaces, indicating that NN
interactions alone can account for the data in these cases
(in contrast to results for Cu{001}). Experimentally
significant corollaries of the low-temperature derivation
show that the step line tension cannot be extracted from the
stiffness and that with plausible assumptions the
low-temperature stiffness should have six-fold symmetry, in
contrast to the three fold symmetry of the crystal shape. We
examine Zia's exact implicit solution in detail, using
numerical methods for general orientations and deriving many
analytic results including explicit solutions in the two
high-symmetry directions. From these exact results we
rederive our simple result and explore subtle behavior near
close-packed directions. To account for the three-fold
symmetry in a lattice gas model, we invoke an
orientation-dependent trio interaction and examine its
consequences.},
