Abstract

âº In this study we analyze the displacement field induced by the steps on a Si(7710) surface. âº We determine the Si(7710) surface structure. âº We show that the strain-induced displacement field can be modelized by buried elastic dipoles. âº We obtain the stretch and torque component of the elastic dipole. âº We determine the step-step interaction energy.
