摘要: It is demonstrated that a stepped (305) surface of SrTiO3 crystal can be used routinely to evaluate the probing profile scanning-force-microscopy probes. This provides means select optimal probes, and possible image distortions within range atomic nanometer scale. The scope limitations resolution structural defects are discussed as criterion for true resolution.
