surface using STM yielded appreciably different results. It is observed that the threshold pulse voltage is lower than that for graphite at comparable tunneling conditions. The minimum dimension of the as-produced features is appreciably larger than those on graphite. Both observations indicate higher surface instability for 1TTaS2 as compared with graphite.
