Diffusion of adsorbates on metal surfaces
TLDR
The theory of diffusion and the principal methods of determining surface diffusion coefficients are presented and their strengths and weaknesses discussed and areas of agreement and disagreement between various measurements are discussed.Abstract:
The theory of diffusion and the principal methods of determining surface diffusion coefficients are presented and their strengths and weaknesses discussed. A summary of major experimental results for diffusion of metallic and non-metallic adsorbates on metal surfaces is given and areas of agreement and disagreement between various measurements are discussed. A brief overview of principal conclusions, problem areas and future directions concludes the review.read more

Reciprocal Relations in Irreversible Processes. II.
TL;DR: In this article, a general reciprocal relation applicable to transport processes such as the conduction of heat and electricity, and diffusion, is derived from the assumption of microscopic reversibility, and certain average products of fluctuations are considered.
