Theoretical aspects and evolution of surface diffusion studies are discussed with an
emphasis on non-metallic adsorbates at metal surfaces. A survey of the existing literature is …

In this review we give a detailed description of the recently developed helium-3 spin-echo
technique and its application to several classes of surface dynamic measurements. We …

We review in this article the current theoretical understanding of collective and single
particle diffusion on surfaces and how it relates to the existing experimental data. We begin …

The atomic-level description of the interatomic interactions determining the structure and
dynamics of clean and adsorbate-covered surfaces is one of the most fundamental topics in …

Fabrication of high-performance heterostructure devices requires fundamental
understanding of the diffusion dynamics of metal species on 2D materials. Here, we …

The quasielastic peak broadening and the frustrated translational vibrations of a low
coverage (Θ Na< 5%) of Na atoms on a Cu (001) surface have been probed with high …

The noise-activated diffusion of a classical particle in spatially periodic two-dimensional (2D)
systems is studied by solving the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation. The particle is …

The diffusion of adatoms and molecules on a surface at low coverage can be measured by
helium scattering. The experimental observable is the dynamic structure factor. In this article …

In this paper, we investigate the energetics and diffusion barriers of arsenic and gallium
adatoms on smooth and stepped GaAs (001) surfaces. We use molecular-dynamics energy …

We study the non-Arrhenius behavior of surface diffusion near the second-order phase
transition boundary of an adsorbate layer. In contrast to expectations based on macroscopic …
