Abstract

We present kinetic lattice Monte Carlo simulations of the Si (100) surface. Taking into account the known anisotropy produced by the surface reconstruction, we examine the diffusion properties of Si ad-dimers and adatoms on the surface. Our results show a transition from quasi-one-dimensional diffusion to two-dimensional motion as the temperature is raised.
