We investigate, via three-dimensional atomistic computer simulations, phase separation in an alloy under external load. A regular two-dimensional array of cylindrical precipitates, forming a mesoscopic precipitate lattice, evolves in the case of applied tensile stress by the movement of mesoscopic lattice defects. A striking similarity to ordinary crystals is found in the movement of "meso-dislocations", but new mechanisms are also observed. Point defects such as "meso-vacancies" or "meso-interstitials" are created or annihilated locally by merging and splitting of precipitates. When the system is subjected to compressive stress, we observe stacking faults in the mesoscopic one-dimensional array of plate-like precipitates.
