Diffusion and density fluctuations of atoms adsorbed on solid surfaces

The evolution of lattice gas density fluctuations is studied. Using the approximation of the local statistical equilibrium, an equation of motion for density fluctuation is derived, which, in general, differs from the ordinary diffusion equation. The correlation function of Langevin source of densit...

Zusammenfassung:The evolution of lattice gas density fluctuations is studied. Using the approximation of the local statistical equilibrium, an equation of motion for density fluctuation is derived, which, in general, differs from the ordinary diffusion equation. The correlation function of Langevin source of density fluctuations is calculated as well.
