    An ideal one-dimensional electronic system is formed along atomic chains on Au-decorated vicinal silicon surfaces, but the nature of its low-temperature phases has been puzzling for last two decades. Here, we unambiguously identify the low-temperature structural distortion of this surface using high-resolution atomic force microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy. The most important structural ingredient of this surface, the step-edge Si chains, are found to be strongly buckled, every third atom down, forming trimer unit cells. This observation is consistent with the recent model of rehybridized dangling bonds and rules out the antiferromagnetic spin ordering proposed earlier. The spectroscopy and electronic structure calculation indicate a charge density wave insulator with a Z3 topology, making it possible to exploit topological phases and excitations.
