Cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy was utilized to study fractured perovskite oxide surfaces. It was found that for the non-cleavable perovskite oxide, SrTiO{sub 3}, atomically flat terraces could be routinely created with a controlled fracturing procedure. Optical, scanning electron and scanning tunneling microscopies, and a profilometer were used to obtain information from submillimeter to submicrometer scales of the fractured surface topography.
