Adatom Mobility

Adatom Mobility is the intrinsic capacity of individual surface atoms to undergo thermally activated diffusion across a substrate during thin film nucleation and growth, distinguishing it from collective or bulk atomic motion by emphasizing the kinetics of isolated adsorbate atoms on solid surfaces.
