Langevin Equation for Diffusion of Molecules Adsorbed on Surfaces

Starting from a classical mechanical model, a set of Langevin equations for the surface diffusion of adsorbed molecules is developed. In contrast to previous work, these Langevin equations take full account of the rotations and internal vibrations of the adsorbed molecule. These equations are then...
