Step-edge Surface Diffusion

Step-Edge Surface Diffusion is a surface diffusion mechanism characterized by the migration of adsorbed atoms or molecules along the edges of atomic steps on a crystalline surface, distinguished from terrace diffusion by its confinement to step boundaries and its critical role in crystal growth and epitaxial film formation.
