Using the Wigner–Ibach surmise to analyze terrace-width distributions: history, user’s guide, and advances
Source abstract
Abstract
A history is given of the applications of the simple expression generalized from the surmise by Wigner and also by Ibach to extract the strength of the interaction between steps on a vicinal surface, via the terrace width distribution (TWD). A concise guide for use with experiments and a summary of some recent extensions are provided.
