• , one-dimensional aggregates are also used for gas sensing and carbon-capturing materials [8][9]. A group of surfaces that is very appealing for the growth of 1D structures are vicinal surfaces [10] because the step edges break the rotational symmetry of the surface further and add a periodic 1D grating
