  "abstract": "In this paper we indicate a general method to calculate the power law that governs how electronic LDOS oscillations decay far away from a surface step edge (or any local linear barrier), in the energy range when only 2D surface states are relevant. We identify the critical aspects of the 2D surface state band structure that contribute to these decaying oscillations and illustrate our derived formula with actual examples.",
