Abstract
The theory of diffusion and the principal methods of determining surface diffusion coefficients are presented and their strengths and weaknesses discussed. A summary of major experimental results for diffusion of metallic and non-metallic adsorbates on metal surfaces is given and areas of agreement and disagreement between various measurements are discussed. A brief overview of principal conclusions, problem areas and future directions concludes the review.
