We report observations of defect-induced period-doubled ($\times 2$) modulations in scanning tunneling microscopy images of the In/Si(111)$4 \times 1$ surface at room temperature. The perturbation is one-dimensional, ranging up to ten lattice constants in the row direction. The modulation is attributed to a perturbation in electronic charge density rather than to a lattice distortion. The defect-induced $\times 2$ structure differs from the low-temperature (LT) $4 \times 2$ observed for the defect-free surface. First-principle calculations found that the defects stabilize a hypothetical structure with small lattice distortions, whose calculated energy is lower than that of the large lattice-distorted structure proposed for the $4 \times 2$-LT phase. This symmetry-broken, defect-induced modulation is extraordinary in that it does not mimic the LT phase observed in the defect-free system.
