Formation of small straight steps among large rough steps on the {110} face of cadmium mercury thiocyanate crystal

摘要

Rough steps generated by dislocation sources are very often observed on the {110} faces of cadmium mercury thiocyanate crystal, which is believed to result from the complex solution structures and the various growth units incorporated into the crystal lattice. Among these large rough steps, some small straight steps perpendicular to the [113] direction are formed.
