The interest in the problem of surface diffusion has been steadily
growing over the last fifteen years. This is clearly evident from
the increase in the number of papers dealing with the problem, the
development of new experimental techniques, and the specialized
sessions focusing on diffusion in national and international
meetings. Part of the driving force behind this increasing activity
is our recently acquired ability to observe and possibly control
atomic scale phenomena. It is now possible to look selectively at
individual atomistic processes and to determine their relative
importance during growth and reactions at surfaces. The number of
researchers interested in this problem also has been growing
steadily which generates the need for a good reference source to
farniliarize newcomers to the problem. While the recent emphasis is
on the role of diffusion during growth, there is also continuing
progress on the more traditional aspects of the problem describing
mass transport in an ensemble of particles. Such a description is
based on the statistical mechanical analysis of a collection of
particles that mutually interact and develop correlations. An
average over the multitude of atomistic processes that operate
under these conditions is necessary to fully describe the dynamics
in the system.
