abstract = {The preparation of metal bead crystals with two wires
attached to the crystal is described. These crystals allow
for a very easy and efficient method to heat metal single
crystals by direct current heating through the connecting
wires of the bead crystal. This heating of the bead crystal
is sufficient to clean metal surfaces such as the surfaces
of Pt and Au as confirmed by Auger spectroscopy and scanning
tunneling microscopy (STM). There is no need for any ion
sputtering which is conventionally used to clean metal
single crystal surfaces. The bead crystals with two leads
fabricated from a wide range metals and metal alloys such as
Cu, Mo, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Ta, W, Re, Ir, Pt, Au, PtPd, PtRh,
AuAg, and PtIr can be used as general purpose metal
substrates for surface science studies and other
applications. Additionally, these bead crystals can be used
to reshape STM tips by indentation of the tip into the soft
metal in order to recover atomic resolution imaging on hard
substrates.},
