Ionic crystals are among the simplest structures in nature. They
can be easily cleaved in air and in vacuum, and the resulting
surfaces are atomically flat on areas hundreds of nanometers wide.
With the development of scanning probe microscopy, these surfaces
have become an ideal "playground" to investigate several phenomena
occurring on the nanometer scale. This book focuses on the
fundamental studies of atomically resolved imaging, nanopatterning,
metal deposition, molecular self-assembling and nanotribological
processes occurring on ionic crystal surfaces. Here, a significant
variety of structures are created by nanolithography, annealing and
irradiation by electrons, ions or photons, and are used to confine
metal particles and organic molecules or to improve our basic
understanding of friction and wear on the atomic scale. Metal
oxides with wide band gap are also discussed. Altogether, the
results obtained so far will have an undoubted impact on the future
development of nanoelectronics and nanomechanics.
