step edges decorated with MSPS molecules that run along the <110> direction. These polar steps most probably minimize the surface energy as they counterbalance the molecular dipole by presenting oppositely charged ions on the rearranged step edge.

first results of a coupled NC-AFM and KPFM study of the adsorption on KBr(001) of 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexa(cyanopropyloxy)triphenylene (HCPTP), presented in Figure 1. This molecule was designed to adsorb strongly on an alkalihalidesurface in the hope of blocking its diffusion at room temperature. It is
