Adatom interaction effects in surface diffusion
Motivated by recent research of Nikitin et al. [J. Phys. D: Appl. Phys., 2009, 49, 055301], we examine the effects of interatomic interactions on adatom surface diffusion. By using a mean-field approach in the random walk problem, we derive a nonlinear diffusion equation and analyze its solutions. T...
