Abstract
We demonstrate how periodic arrays of islands consisting of an atomic nitrogen-induced reconstruction of the Cu(100) surface can be used to direct and control the shapes and distributions of islands of epitaxially grown Fe and Cu. This has resulted in the selective creation of either arrays of nanometer-scale stripes or two-dimensional periodic arrays of islands.Keywords
