42. One-dimensional defects are modelled by rows of vacencies, i.e. as two stripes of different width. Hence, an island-island edge interaction ±ln(r), depending on the sign of the steps, is not observable; repulsive and attractive contributions add up to zero.
43. 2, where ξ is the Poisson ratio and Y is Young's modulus. We estimated m≈1 [9,12] and calculated ξ=0.42 and Y= 71, which gives A≈0.1.
44. Global relaxation requires us to ignore the force acting in parallel to the diffusion direction, otherwise the whole crystal would move, i.e. the adatom would be relaxed into a binding site again. We used a frozen bottom layer to prevent the whole system from moving.
