Scanning tunneling microscopy of platinum electrode surfaces with different preferred crystallographic orientations

We have used scanning tunneling microscopy to study the surface microtopography of platinum electrodes preferentially oriented by a procedure denoted as electrochemical faceting. The treated specimens show clear reoriented patches on the surface in the form of steps with well-defined orientations se...

Sumario:We have used scanning tunneling microscopy to study the surface microtopography of platinum electrodes preferentially oriented by a procedure denoted as electrochemical faceting. The treated specimens show clear reoriented patches on the surface in the form of steps with well-defined orientations separated by terraces of different sizes. The microscopic data obtained by STM correspond well with voltammetric analysis.
