Abstract

The utility of field-ion microscopy (FIM) in studying the shape and orientation of a supported, nanometer-size Au cluster is discussed. By comparing computer simulations of an FIM image to experimental FIM data, the structure and orientation of the supported cluster can be determined. (22 References).
