Abstract
Charge-density waves on cleaved surfaces of 1T- appeared at 77 K as hexagonal arrays of mounds with spacings of (3.5±0.3), where =3.346 Å is the lattice spacing of the 1T-. In contrast, cleaved surfaces of 2H- at 77 K showed only atoms. The tunneling microscope was operated under liquid nitrogen with a tip for both types of samples.
