Theoretical analysis reveals the determinants of stepped face morphology in crystals, indicating that stronger periodic bond chains drive greater face prominence.

Key Points

To elucidate the characteristic features of stepped crystal faces (S-faces) and identify the structural factors that govern their morphological prominence.
Formulated definitions and theoretical criteria for S-faces that align parallel to a single periodic bond chain.
Analyzed the relationship between atomic bond strengths within periodic bond chains and face morphology using index addition schemes.
The morphological development of S-faces within a crystal zone follows a systematic index addition scheme.
Morphological importance of an S-face correlates positively with the relative bond strength of its parallel periodic bond chain.
