Abstract

We have performed a systematic study to evaluate the structural response of a {110} fcc surface to an externally imposed elastic deformation, by Molecular Dynamics at a fixed temperature T=0.48T and T=0.68T (T melting point). For high contractions along the dense axis [110], surface concentration of defects (SCD) and diffusion coefficient increase with respect to the equilibrium values. The resulting surface disorder is similar to the one found, at equilibrium, at higher temperatures.
