Abstract
We report investigations on gold single crystals carried out with the help of an original experimental set-up, combining a scanning tunneling microscope and a compression device under ultra high vacuum, that allows for in situ observations of stressed surfaces at the atomic scale. It is observed that a macroscopic compression strain may induce a reorganization of the Au(111) surface reconstruction, known as the chevron-like pattern. Molecular dynamics simulations using a modified embedded atom method potential have been carried out to highlight the elementary dislocation mechanisms at the origin of such an evolution.
