Abstract

The analysis of surface diffusion in interactive overlayers deviates from the simple picture of diffusion as a random walk. Non-equilibrium processes (the growth of ordered or the disordering of already ordered islands) under constant coverage or deposition rate, can be easily used to measure surface diffusion. For the 0/W(110) system, such experiments measured an ordering activation energy ED=0.6±0.05 eV which is different from the one measured in disordering experiments ED=1 ± 0.05 eV. The difference can be accounted for by the interactions. Ordering experiments in the Ag/Si(111)-√3x√3R30 system under constant deposition, suggest the presence of non-thermal mobility.
