Abstract
A stochastic model of the diffusion of atomic clusters on crystalline surfaces, capable of treating complex systems, has been developed. Novel methods allow the analysis of diffusion data in field-free and-biased experiments. Expressions for the complete determination of parameters characterizing the individual cluster configurations from measurable quantities are derived.Keywords
