Abstract

Molecular dynamics simulations of tracer diffusion in the pressure range of 0-200 atmospheres were carried out to explore the relation between surface diffusion and the pressure in the gas phase. Calculations were performed for a model system describing the diffusion of an atom like particle on the Ru(001) surface. A diffusion mechanism deduced through careful analysis of a large number of individual trajectories clarified the relationship between the pressure and both pre-exponential factor and diffusion activation energy.
