Abstract
⺠We compute the mean bulk stress due to a step edge. ⺠An excess in surface stress per line length defines the 'line stress' on an edge. ⺠The line stress controls the surface stress polar dependence for vicinal surfaces. ⺠It has components parallel and perpendicular to the edge. ⺠Results of our continuum theory match atomistic simulation.
