Their research will characterize in detail the thermodynamic                    behavior of metal crystal surfaces.  The emphasis will be upon                  the phase behavior as a function of temperature and ad-atom                     coverage.  It will contribute to the understanding of equilibrium               crystal shapes and surface roughening transitions.  Currently,                  there is a substantial body of theoretical work on these topics,                but experiments on their microscopic aspects are lacking.                       Crystals which are mis-cut from symmetry directions will also be                studied extensively.  Such surfaces may undergo "phase-                         separation" if the free energy gained is sufficient to offset the               concomitant increase in surface area.  They will pursue studies                 of such behavior on copper surfaces.
