Description
We observe, using phase maps obtained from a focal series of images, the evolution in time of a gold-vacuum interface. What is seen is the reconfiguration and removal of whole columns of gold atoms (typically containing three to nine atoms) at the interface. These structural changes are discussed with reference to the variation in binding energy along the interface
