Abstract
The mechanism of dynamic instability of a solid surface under a load, determined by perturbations of the electron density and the change in the interatomic interaction, is considered. This instability is manifested upon the excitation of dynamic displacements of atoms in the surface layer, which can lead to formation of finite-lifetime structures in the form of waves with a large amplitude. Such structures were earlier observed experimentally on a stretched germanium (111) surface.
