Abstract.
Experimental results recently obtained for Xe(111) are simulated introducing a method which allows the time-effective simulation of complete non-contact atomic force microscopy (NC-AFM) images for non-reactive surfaces. All features of the experimental image are successfully reproduced. Additionally, the comparison between experiment and simulation allows the maxima in the experimental image to be identified as the actual positions of the xenon atoms.
