“…In contrast to epitaxial atomic layers, where lattice misfit, epitaxial strain, vertical layer relaxation are well-defined properties [10,87,128], for individual nanostructures spatial variations of the atomic structures are expected [41,43] and experimentally observed [31,61,129]. Here, structural and electronic relaxations on the nanoscale are driven by uncompensated forces and (111) surface as a function of coverage at annealing temperatures of 12 K as measured experimentally (dark gray) and calculated with (red) and without (green) taking into account strain relaxations.…”
