N2 - The microscopic morphology of evaporated (100) surfaces of NaCl crystals has been studied by means of gold decoration, replication, and electron microscopy. Closely spaced monoatomic steps were observed following a 15 min evaporation in air at 580°C. When the evaporation time was increased to 90 min, the step distribution became unstable. This instability resulted in a bounching of steps of multiple height. A rounded effect at the corners is observed in all closed steps formed at this temperature.
