Strain can affect the morphology of a crystal surface, and cause modifications of its reconstruction even when weak, as in the case of mechanical bending. We carried out calculations of strain-dependent surface free energy and direct bending simulations demonstrating the change of incommensurate reconstruction in Au(111) under strain, in good agreement with recent data. Time-dependent strain should cause a sliding of the topmost layer over the second, suggesting an interesting case of nanofriction. Bending strain could also be used to fine tune the spacing of selectively absorbed nanoclusters.
