abstract = {In this paper we introduce a new experimental approach to
determine the potential dependence of the step line tension
on metal electrodes in contact with an electrolyte: (0 0 1)
and (1 1 n) surfaces of single crystal gold electrodes were
investigated by impedance spectroscopy in solutions
containing weakly adsorbing anions, such as CIO4-, F- and
SO42-. Within the limits of error the shift in the potential
of zero charge is proportional to the step density of the
vicinal surfaces indicative of a well-defined dipole moment
per step length. The dipole moments per step atom are 6.8
+/- 0.8, 5.2 +/- 0.4, 5.8 +/- 0.5 x 10(-3) e angstrom for
SO42-, ClO4-, and F- containing electrolytes, respectively.
Using the values for the pzc and the potential dependence of
the capacitance curves, the potential dependence of the
surface tension of the vicinal surfaces is determined. The
line tension of the steps is then calculated from the
difference between the surface tension of the stepped and
the step free surface. Our results represent the first
experimental confirmation of a recent theoretical model
proposing that in absence of specifically adsorbed ions the
step line tension should decrease (roughly linear) with
potential. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},
