The diffusion of small particles is omnipresent in many processes occurring in nature. As
such, it is widely studied and exerted in almost all branches of sciences. It constitutes such a …

We present a numerical study of classical particles diffusing on a solid surface. The particles'
motion is modeled by an underdamped Langevin equation with ordinary thermal noise. The …

Diffusion of an adsorbate is affected both by the adiabatic potential energy surface in which
the adsorbate moves and by the rate of thermal coupling between the adsorbate and …

An elementary process occurring on surfaces is diffusion. The dynamics is simplest when
the concentration of adsorbates is sufficiently small that interaction between adsorbates can …

We study impact of inertia on directed transport of a Brownian particle under non-equilibrium
conditions: the particle moves in a one-dimensional periodic and symmetric potential, is …

The spreading of a cloud of independent Brownian particles typically proceeds more
effectively at higher temperatures, as it derives from the commonly known Sutherland …

The diffusion of adatoms and molecules on a surface at low coverage can be measured by
helium scattering. The experimental observable is the dynamic structure factor. In this article …

A classical molecular dynamics study of the diffusive motion of benzene molecules on
graphite basal planes has been performed in the sub-monolayer coverage regime. Atomistic …

Density-functional ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations are carried out to
determine Cu adatom and admolecule transport properties as a function of temperature, as …

Small heavy particles in a fluid flow respond to the flow on a timescale proportional to their
inertia or Stokes number St. Their behavior has been thought to be gradually modified as St …
