Within this model, the effects of thermal surface phonons and adsorbate-adsorbate collisions are accounted for by two uncorrelated noise functions which arise in a natural way from a two-bath model based on a generalization of the one-bath Caldeira-Leggett Hamiltonian. As an illustration, the model is applied to the diffusion of Na atoms on a Cu(001) surface with different coverages.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-02-05T18:30:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "68.43.Jk", "68.43.Pq", "68.35.Fx" ], "keywords": [ "activated surface diffusion", "two-bath model", "interacting adsorbates", "one-bath caldeira-leggett hamiltonian", "interacting single adsorbate model" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AIP", "journal": "Journal of Chemical Physics", "year": 2010, "month": "Feb", "volume": 132, "number": 5, "pages": 4704 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010JChPh.132e4704M" } } }
