Direct visualization of the oscillation of Au(111) surface atoms
A high frequency oscillating Au (111) surface was measured with atomic resolution using a modified scanning tunneling microscope. On the atomic scale propagating surface acoustic waves lead to oscillations of atoms on elliptical trajectories, with the axes being determined by the material parameters...
