3C-SiC(0 0 1) surfaces are considerably rough with the roughness root mean square value (R ms ) of 1.3 nm, but the surfaces become considerably smooth (i.e., R ms of 0.5 nm) by heat treatment in pure hydrogen at 400 8C. Two-step nitric acid (HNO 3 ) oxidation (i.e., immersion in $40 wt% HNO 3 follow
