35. See EPAPS Document No. E-PRBMDO-74-060648 for movies showing ion core displacements (exaggerated by a factor of 2.4 for easier visualization) upon the approach and retraction of a Na+ terminated 111-directed NaCl tip facing a Na+, a Cl- ion, and the saddlepoint site in the top layer of a NaCl(001) slab, respectively. A fourth movie illustrates the formation of a chain of alternating anions and cations during the retraction of an O- terminated 111-directed MgO cluster which had initially pulled out a Na+ from the top layer of a NaCl(001) slab.
