Abstract
A new model was presented that displayed remarkable agreement with atomistic predictions for step separations larger than just a few step heights. It was shown that the interaction energy of steps exhibited a novel intermediate ranged behavior. For particular systems step interactions switched from repulsive to attractive as separation distance decreased. The model was simple and the elastic field was that of a dipole applied on a stepped surface rather than a flat surface.
