Surface-diffusion mechanism versus electric field: Pt/Pt(001) [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Ab initio calculations agree with field ion microscopy (FIM) that the barrier to substitutional diffusion of a Pt atom on Pt(001) varies linearly with external electric field, changing ∼0.1 eV per V/Å and increasing for fields oriented to push electrons into the surface. But with a computed hopping barrier remaining \textgreater0.5 eV higher than that for substitution, they contradict the idea that a change in FIM site visitation at fields of 1.5–2 V/Å and temperatures ∼265–284 K can be attributed to the onset of hopping.
