Abstract
The nanoscale morphology of the hematite (0001) surface was characterized by using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The atomically flat domains extend for tens of micrometers and are bound by highly stepped regions. The hematite crystals were grown via a chemical vapor transport (CVT) technique, by using HCl gas as the transport agent. The long-term stability of these surface suggests that they may serve as effective templates for the growth, patterning, and embossing of nanostructures.
